Decent build quality, body entirely made of polymer (injection molded) but feels quite durable. There is a nice "texture" to the screen bezel that breaks up the otherwise plain design. Decent screen in my opinion. Perfectly fine for streaming, general office work. Unclear on maximum brightness nits, but is usable outside on a sunny day. Have not had a chance to test the battery life yet.
Removal of the back panel is very simple, all screws are Philips and only two different sizes. Used a plastic guitar pick style wedge to remove the back panel, and it pops out with ease.
Does come preloaded with McAfee bloatware and some Asus tools but not much else. One thing that is interesting is their decision to "tilt" the NVME slot to compensate for the large fan.

All in all, happy with this machine so far. This replaced my mother's Dell Inspiron 15.6 from 2015 that was having display issues. The "case" size is about the same as the old dell, but added ~1.7 inches of screen real-estate. As others have said, this is definitely overkill for my mother who is 63 and will primarily use this for streaming and light photo editing. That being said, she only gets a new computer once every decade or so, so I felt at this pricepoint this Asus was a good move.

This seems like a very good deal in general. Purchasing for my mother who is about to turn 63 and uses an older Dell Inspiron 15.6 inch laptop, which has been having some screen issues lately.
I'll let you all know how it goes!
However, The screen itself has decent viewing angles and the color is good within its limited gamut. Black levels are decent. So if you are going to use this for work and limited viewing like youtube videos the screen suffices just fine. I can say that with a 15" version and this 17x version in front of me.
In case anyone is wondering the MVMe model number is Micron 2210 MTFDHBA512QFD.
