Not bad at all but really Asus...only 8GB for memory. Every new computer should have at least 16GB.

I have two of this. One is in perfect working condition, love big screen, really fast and comfortable, hooked to two external monitors via HDMI & usb-c, 32gb ram and 2tb secondary drive installed. Keep in mind, boot drive is not a fastest one tbh. It has only 3 usb ports, so 10 port mountable hub that sitting under desk was hooked and all ports are in use. No problems whatsoever. Tho the other one came with defective mobo. It start crashing few days after return window closed. Took me month and half and bunch if BB visits and countless phone conversations with BB and Asus (don't bother to call Asus unless you enjoying conversation with people who questionably understand you in particular and English in general, with mooing cows and fighting chickens on background) to finally convinced them that problem is not a driver, but hardware instead. They sent laptop to repair center, still waiting for updates. So my two cents - monitor it closely, and if any bug or hope not crash/BSOD happens while return window is still open, then return/exchange it immediately. Or buy BB extended warranty which may cost 1/4 of laptop price tag ...

If I am not mistaken, HE is 3050Ti version and HC is 3050.
3050Ti was $750 and 3050 $670

Funny that you question ESL folks and you barely put together readable posts.

Not questioning esl folks 'cos I am efl one (not second and not even third), but instead mostly curious why US advanced tech support working from Malaysia farm. But I guess it's a rhetorical question after all.
