If you think you can make something out of this laptop, you are not

1. It has RT8723BE Half PCIe Anatel crap with only 1 antenna (main). 2. 8GB DDR4 D9TBH Micron soldered on motherboard. CPU-Z says Channels: Single Memory Frequency: 1064.4 MHz (1:16) CAS# latency (CL): 15.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD): 15 RAS# Precharge (tRP): 15 Cycle Time (tRAS): 35 Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC): 374 Motherboard has one additional slot for memory. Didn't test for Dual Channel compatibility. 3. HDD ST1000LM024 4. LAN RTL8402 5. Video Intel(R) HD Graphics 510. For those who dreaming of 4K or gaming: RTD2168. Specs aside, I received 2 units from Adorama booth with power problems; first one wasn't working without power brick, second intermittently shut itself off. And one more thing, AVEXIR AVD4SZ121331508G-1B is NOT compatible with this laptop.

Not thrilled with my purchase so far

I haven't had the greatest experience, not sure how common that is as I have never ordered from this store before. My pc broke and I took advantage of what looked like a great ebay deal as I need a laptop for my work. The price seemed amazing for the product and it came in a timely manner. I started the laptop only to find it would only boot to the blue screen bios. Frustarted that it looked like I would fall further behind in my work I contacted adorama. I was told it was my job now to contact Asus to try and sort out the problem before they would agree to exchange. A bit annoying, I didn't sign on for more than a new laptop and now I have a job. So I called Asus and spent 3 hours of my precious time falling further behind on my job while Asus told me this was very strange and they hadn't seen the issue before. But now I had the case number from asus I needed to call adorama back to secure an exchange. Already seems like a big commitment on my part for a product I paid good money for. But I thought finally I would get a new laptop so I could get to work. They promised 2 day shipping for the inconvenience. I felt like the customer service rep was a bit annoyed at my wanting to be certain of the expedited shipping, I tried to get on her good side afraid I would have order delayed. Well a few days later I had to call back because the laptop was of course not expedited. This is quite the hassle and delay in time and the work needed to be done for my own job! Finally, I was apologized to and told the laptop would be overnighted. And it was. I have had the laptop for about a month. I'm a relatively savvy laptop user, am good at troubleshooting software and have built pcs on my own. Well, despite putting some time into the laptop replacement I have gotten it seems to have an issue with the adapter. My research tells me that it may be a hardware issue. I haven't tried to exchange it again and have yet to fix it myself etc. Because I have work to do. I am taking the time to write this to vent some of my frustration about this purchase. I'm going to keep using the laptop as I can't sacrifice more time to return it and wait for another from elsewhere but dang, that is a lot of time and effort on my part for a new product to still have issues with it after all is said and done. Maybe this was all my bad luck but I have never had this kind of experience and have bought several laptops in my time.

The laptop is great, quite light

My future son-in-law recommended this laptop for me. He is an IT guy. The laptop is great, quite light. I am not a gamer, just need it for the internet and word processing. Excellent!

Great for the price

This computer has almost all of the specs I wanted at a very good price! It's all plastic, which may be a turn off for some people, but I personally don't mind it.
