Great Student Laptop
Great laptop, screen looks beautiful, its fast , super light, battery last long, my kid loves it and I do too .. Very affordable $$
User
So far so good
So far, it is working as expected. It is being used for Zoom and Google meet video classes and has had no issues. It was super easy to get it out of S mode to download Chrome. The price at $249 is decent for an ASUS brand computer.

Review from someone who has no idea about computers
Battery life lasts forever!!! I work full time and currently in school full time, good for browsing, writing documents, office 360 (excel, OneDrive) emailing, etc. Slightly slow so this probably wouldnโt be an ideal gaming computer but an over all pretty decent computer. Really lightweight, thin and sleek looking and great screen size. Hoping it lasts me till I graduate.

Best Laptop for the Price
I got a good laptop and I have had zero problems with it. As a teacher who uses it to teach my students online five days a week, this computer saved the school year.

Purchased for at home learning for my daughter and it has done really well
Purchased for at home learning for my daughter and it has done really well. There is plenty of power/memory to get the job done and live stream my daughters classes.

Gets the job done . . . slowly --- NOT enough memory to switch to Linux!
I am not a huge computer user. I check email, shop online, and type a few word documents. This laptop is great because it is lightweight and easy to move around wherever I'm going. However, it is SLOW! Loading webpages takes forever. Also, speakers have a very quiet max volume. When I've attempted to stream a song on youtube, it is so quiet. I got the micro-SD card to help. And it does.The main reason I bought this laptop was because others said they had been able to load Linux on it. I tried, following detailed instructions online, and when it finally came time to try it, notifications popped up saying that this computer didn't have enough available memory to do it. I was disappointed since that was the main reason I selected this laptop (I did it the day it came, so no updates or other programs had been installed).In hindsight, I think I'd have sprung for an extra $100 laptop and gotten something a bit faster with more power.

Sigh - terrible
I'm editing my review to be more detailed now that I'm not just exhausted and miserable over the whole thing.I got this laptop after a lot of debate. My old laptop - which was admittedly on its ...sixth/seventh year of hard wear and tear - was finally losing its monitor, and my computer repair guy told me it'd be about $100 to fix and I figured for just a few hundred more I could get a new laptop. I don't need top of the line in my laptop - I keep my PC for that. For my laptop I just need something I can work on editing on google docs or word, and surf the web.I saw this one, it was in my price range, and I trust ASUS in general. Something felt off as soon as I got this laptop - the start up just felt extremely fast - and it felt extremely fast just to INSTANTLY go EXTREMELY slow. Windows crept along. Clicking anything didn't register for literally 30 or more seconds. "Okay," I figure, "maybe it's just still installing windows stuff in the background. I'll leave it alone."It took 3 days for it to "finish instaslling" everything, and that didn't stop it going slow. It kept going slow. I contacted Amazon support, they suggested I contact ASUS, so I agreed - but decided to wait, in case of the install thing."Okay," said I - still optimistic - my optimism would hold for a while longer. "Maybe it's Microsoft S. I wanted to leave that anyway."It took me over an hour - clicking, waiting for the click to register, selecting what I wanted to do - waiting 10-15 minutes for it to load - to get Microsoft S to turn off. Shock of shocks (please read sarcasm), that did nothing.I turned it off (which took 45 minutes) and then turned it back on. That didn't work. It still crept along slow. I turned it off and turned it back on - and hey! It wasn't slow anymore! I breathed a sigh of relief! I shifted it off my lap desk and on to the bed and it instantly blue screened.Okay, maybe I...moved it too hard? I thought. So I restarted the thing yet again. This time it seemed to function fine, other than now and again the touch pad would just stop responding to any input and I had no idea if it was going slow again or just not working (both, back and forth, it turned out). I settled it on my bed to go get a glass of water, and all was well. My cat moved past it and hopped off the bed, and the slight jostle of him walking past (and he isn't a chonk! he's like 13 pounds and he's supposed to be 12-15!) and it blue screened again.My friends finally convinced me that my optimism was misfounded, contact ASUS support. I contacted them on 12/27 and having previously worked support for a company I know the days after Christmas are the worst - so when I was 4th in queue for 4 hours I wasn't shocked, and by that point I had to leave for work so I left the queue. A few days later I tried again (this was the chat-help queue, I should note), I was 3rd in line for 4 hours before I gave up. I then just was stressed by work for a week, so only finally called support yesterday (1/14) where after going through the phone tree I was (accidentally, I think anyway) hung up on.And I just gave up. Put the refund through and started the 14 hour process of reformatting the laptop to remove any sign I'd ever signed in.I fully guarantee there was something just wrong with the hardware. If I could have gotten through to ASUS, they probably would have fixed it - I imagine this was a fluke. But with my experience, I literally can't in good conscience give this laptop above a 1. So I'm off to find a new one that works better.

Warning labels
The warning that according to California laws the product contains cancerous divers so to wash our hands after usage is the only thing I do not like.
