Quote from hq12ngochoi :
I have this exact computer from a couple weeks ago. It definitely LOOKS more expensive than a $99 machine. However, it's truly good for light duty - I mean very light duty. If you're using this to shop and pay bills, web browsing, it's fine. if you open more than 2 or three browser tabs, the compute does slow down a good bit. I mean, with 4GB of RAM, can you expect much more performance nowadays? You can do school work as well. Keep in mind, it's no speed demon, but it will be sufficient power to get what you need done, but don't expect a lot of multi-tasking with this laptop. All in all, it's a good machine for the money but expect it to be an entry level machine.
Can you install something like win 7 on it? It might just be a good option, as windows back in the day was much lighter and was somewhat more functional!

What are the odds of BB not canceling this order if try to have it shipped to a buddy in another state in tight spot without them canceling the order. Amazon doesn't bat an eye.

Eh, I had the 20% off offer from Chase at BB so I didn't want to take a chance and botch that with a cancellation.
Just had one shipped to my own home.
I will just use the $20 kickback from Chase to ship it to him after I get it set up.

Thanks for the review...how's the screen dark and fuzzy or clear and bright?

Bought 2 a few weeks ago at this price. Added a cheap Ssd to first one. This thing is great. I've had zero problems playing YouTube. Sure, this isn't the fastest. But it's great to take along on vacation, and not have to worry about it too much.

How's the screen, and are you running W10 or 11? I see it has the older barrel type charger connection unlike most newer USB-C type.

I can only give you folks MY experience. I actually own this laptop for a few days now and am actually using it to post this comment. I don't speculate on specs or make judgement calls without actually trying it.

I am a mid to heavy user. Not a gamer. My main machine is a desktop.

I needed something portable to take with me on the road. Hotels, cruise ships, McDonald's, etc. Don't laugh now but I was using an old Dell Vostros with 4GB RAM and an i3 processor running Win7. Of course, it weighs a TON! Bottom line is this laptop run circles around it despite the Dell's i3 processor. Also, the battery lasts FOREVER on this thing!

My use is light when I'm on the road. Surfing, editing and checking e-mails, word processing and spreadsheets, videos, viewing pics, online purchases, Zoom, no gaming. I'm not going to use a $100 laptop for Photoshopping or video editing and then bitch that it sucks because it's too slow. Use the right tool for the job. Smilie

When I first got it, I took it out of S mode and updated Win11 and all other available drivers. Then I added my wireless printer, BT mouse and mapped a drive to my NAS. All the updates and installs were much faster than I expected. Quite speedy in fact. The updates were done at night (east coast) so maybe the MS servers are less taxed during the evening. I did notice the machine was smoother and more responsive after all updates. My WiFi is very fast at home so maybe that made the updates feel faster. Everything adds up to the user experience.

I did NOT install Chrome but rather used Edge. Opening 10 tabs was not a problem, with one of the tabs used for YouTube.

Maybe eventually I'll add a second SSD but for the immediate future I plan on getting a low-profile mini-USB flash drive. 128GB should do the trick for my usage and only around $15. Stick it in a USB 3.0 port and forget about it.

Random data points and answers to some of the posted questions:
  • It's a TN screen but it's pretty decent in my opinion. Not a touch screen. I have no complaints. Yeah, sure IPS would be better but remember the price.
  • Lightweight. I think spec says 2.64 lbs.
  • Battery lasts FOREVER. (I wonder if an IPS panel would draw more power.)
  • There is no fan. Don't hear one. Don't feel air movement. Spec says no fan.
  • If you register within 60 days Asus will throw in a 1-year accident coverage against drops, spills and surges. That's a pretty decent freebie! Applause
  • Warranty is 1 year but if you "share your experience with them" (whatever that means) they will extend your warranty for 90 days.
  • Screen can go 180 degrees lie flat for group viewing.
  • Quite decent keyboard but it is NOT backlit.
  • You can turn the touch pad into a number pad with a push of a "button". Works quite well.
  • Proprietary charger. No USB-C as others have said.
  • First charge from 20% took 1 hour 20 minutes to 100%.
  • If it gets destroyed, lost, stolen it's a $100 laptop. Smilie
Remember, it's a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR laptop. Don't be running computation fluid dynamics or finite element analyses with it. Big Grin

yes, there is an empty M.2 NVMe slot. You will also need a screw.
Performance will improve noticeably better if you make M.2 as the system drive.
Sorry for my ignorance. What sort of "screw" do I need?

So are you saying the best bet is to leave the OS as is on the internal eMMC and use an M2 as a secondary drive?

M.2 screw

Clean install or clone the OS to M.2, and use the eMMC as a secondary storage.

Unfortunately, I am not a computer expert in this area - but bear in mind Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft and even if you did get this to work - you would not have access to many critically needed software updates.

It's average. I don't know technical stuff like how many nits of brightness, but it's sufficient. It does not have a good viewing angel from the side - but for most users, it will be fine (as you are going to be sitting right in front of it anyway.)

I've seen computers with higher resolution than this - but given the low $100 pricing point - the typical, intended target customer for this product wouldn't care.
