    Good in all respects except the graphics chipset!

    Beware if you look at this well-built computer with lust: the graphics chipset is not compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro. It's got everything right except that... But that's no small thing when you buy it for editing and computer graphics.

    Really low end pro

    The battery lasts no more than 5 hours in normal use, no backlit keyboard (I didn't see that before I bought it).
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new laptop, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new laptop.
    I'm going to switch to a macbook, the price is higher but at least there are real innovations in terms of performance.

    Perfect for office use

    By adding 32GB of RAM from the start, this product is excellent for everyday office use. Perfect for someone who doesn't want to wait for an excel to open.
    At the same time ASUS has never let me down
