Title: BEST Bang for buck for Chromebook
Review: I got the 15 inch, i needed this mostly for a good laptop, long battery life, USB C Charging, and price. I looked at several "higher" contenders, but for the 8g RAM, 64gb HD plus SD Card slot, battery life, size, and quality, you're not going to find a better sub- $300 chromebook. All others that compare are closer to $600-1000.Battery life isn't quite 11 hours with the most recent updates, more like 6-8. I use this primarily for online EHR for the facility I work for, and it's great. While some may not like the screen with more advanced (read as >$750 models), it is also a little blah appearing screen BECAUSE of the anti-glare. This means I can chart and do notes outside without sacrificing efficiency. Overall, the only "missing" thing is a touch screen. My main laptop is a Surface Pro 7, so I'm not really missing this. This is a fantastic true "lap" top.Unlike others, I have used other Chromebooks. This is superior for the PRICE.

Title: won't turn on
Review: i bought this in feb. and it stopped working in june. (guarantee up April ) i get a message to put in a recovery stick. there is no recovery stick with it so you have to make your own. first you need a computer with microsoft on it. if i had that i wouldn't have needed to buy a chromebook. what a waste. it is cheaper to buy a new one than repair at computer store. won't buy asus again though. BTW, i am typing this on my old (very old) acer c720 which works great, just cannot be up graded to work with my bank.

Title: Large display, but Color and Speakers just ok
Review: I love my new laptop, but the colors displayed on screen are just ok...not very vibrant, average for my own use, and can be fixed a bit tilting the screen at a better angle. I was online shopping and some of the clothing looked very light and images were not very saturated...I wouldn't recommend this for anyone using this laptop for design etc. Good for basic home use, work use, student use. Beautiful background themes to choose from, excellent Google product use, and I easily installed a wireless bluetooth mouse. The screen is nice and large, especially at this price point of around $200. I bought this on Prime Day and I'm happy with my purchase. I can run Google with many tabs open without any problem. I do wish the speakers were a bit better. I listen to music on my phone or Alexa instead because the speakers are small and located in an odd place....right on the front outer rim of the laptop on either side of where it opens. I used it to watch a movie on my bed and had the volume at max and still had a little trouble hearing everything. The bedding also sometimes blocked the speakers because of their location. Basic volume on regular Zoom meetings, YouTube etc. would be fine. I recommend this laptop for normal basic use...it works fast, beautifully designed and has lots of ports which is very convenient. Another thing I wanted to mention is that it wouldn't turn on at first even after charging for hours. I had googled many troubleshooting ideas and nothing seemed to work. Finally after cursing it and almost giving up, it magically made a "bling" sound and came on. Make sure to charge it from a wall outlet; not an extension cord or power strip. I think it was still in shipping mode, so I had to google what keys to hold down to make it boot up for the first time. There are just those few things, otherwise I love the laptop for my needs, and would recommend Asus products. Touchpad is very quick and responsive. It is not a touch screen monitor...I'm thinking people are confusing touch screen with touch pad. Keyboard is comfortable and battery has been long-running.

Title: Bluetooth does not pair with Logitech mouse.
Review: Bluetooth does not pair with Logitech mouse. No Touchscreen to enable, does not work. Nothing mentioned on site. Only Touchpad is operable, no good for Excel. Very displeased with his model. Only able to use Touchpad not mouse. Difficult to use.

Title: Didnât make it 2 years
Review: We used this device for YouTube, google docs, kidsâ school and email. It did what we needed it to for a great price. It came with a junky charging cord that needed to be replaced right away, but that was still under warranty. I purchased it in July â22 and now March â24 it died. It was inconvenient to wait for a new charging cord and 2 different batteries as I tried to trouble shoot it. Nothing has worked to power it on, and I am not paying asus to fix it as their warranty was less than a year.

Title: Love it!
Review: It took me a few minutes to get used to it because it has a different material then my HP Chromebook. It's also big which is what I wanted. The keyboard is carpal tunnel friendly you have plenty of room to rest your hands when you use the home keys and type. Good chromebook
