Man, you slickdealers are pissed off today. I remember when this site was awesome. It all started changing when slickdeals started collaborating with Dell and hp to offer us crappy deals and SD reports all price errors to others. Stop arguing folks. We're a team.

Because it is not gaming laptop and a thin and light laptop designed for day to day work, long battery life and multimedia consumption and some productivity tasks like Photoshop, Video encoding etc...thanks to the quad core CPU. If you want a laptop with Graphics card for playing games, why are you looking at this deal? Next time you will say Dell XPS 13 is a super bad laptop because it is costly and cannot play games....

I am legit wowed by this machine! I received the laptop on Friday, and I finally got around to buying an SSD and installing it yesterday. The build quality is really fantastic, and it really does seem thinner and lighter than advertised. Installing the SSD was a little painful though, as there are two screws hidden under the rear rubber feet. It took me way too long to figure that one out.

After performing a clean install of the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update this thing REALLY flies. I also tried to charge it via the USB-C port using my 61W MacBook Pro USB-C charger, but it didn't work.

How did you remove those feet? I just yanked mine off and broke the snaps for those two. Thinking of buying a second machine as this is such a smoking deal. Battery life is kind of sucky though

I used a butter knife to sort of pry underneath the rubber and angled it so that it popped right off. I just stuck it on using the same adhesive, so I'm not really sure how great of a solution that is, but I figure my mom will let me know if the rubber feet eventually drop off.

I haven't really done any formal testing, but I did set the power mode to "better performance" when on battery. I've been running tests (Prime95 mainly) to drain the battery and to hear how loud the fans are, and I have been pretty impressed with the battery (it's been going about 5 hours under random, brief abuse of Prime95 and installing random apps like Microsoft Office) and the quietness of the fan at full throttle.

I'd be interested to see the Dell Inspiron linked earlier in this thread compared to this machine in person. I believe the Dell was $650 with a 256 GB SSD versus this is $500 without an SSD, but by the time you add an SSD to this machine (and the cost of the slight aggravation of physically changing the drive) the gap has closed to only $60-ish between the two.

I just wish it had backlit keyboard and Nvidia graphics. I'd rather have that than IPS, as IPS isn't everything and some IPS panels look terrible.

Does the laptop have a web-camera?

In the stock images it is shown, but in the description there is no information.
Yes there is a webcam.

Also added +1 to helpfulness for your review

What did he end up editing before he deleted it?
Yeah he commented that I posted a pic and my laptop was black and not grey so I had no idea what I was talking about. So I posted a new pic with better lighting and he removed his since he looked foolish.

Hi Rydia! I think we figured out that it's m.2, now we're just wondering if the m.2 slot is Sata3 bus speeds (up to 550MB/s) or NVMe enabled (up to 4000MB/s). Thanks!

For $100 more you can get an Acer that has both the i5-8250U and a 256GB SSD, along with an optical drive, GeForce MX150, and a backlit keyboard (it says on Acer's page). The IPS panel is probably mediocre though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FLBJV7

But the Acer can only handle 8gb ram max. This bad boy can handle 32gb! Try and find another machine in this price range that can do that.

He just mentioned that in the previous post, confirming that it is NVMe

It says it can handle 16GB, and people have been able to upgrade in the previous models. Where'd you get your information from?

Any device, laptop or desktop, supporting DDR4 or DDR4L module, can take 16GB per slot. Don't get confused by what manufacturers say. Normally the maximum capacity they mention, is the maximum Ram configuration of that device sold by them.
This Asus Laptop, has 2 SODIMM DDR4L slots and each of them will be able to take 16GB, totaling 32GB max and that is also the restriction applied by Intel for i5-8250U.

The Acer Swift, on the other had, has LPDDR3 Ram, which is an integrated solution, and hence, cannot be expanded.
