Fine while it works
I eventually bought mine from Curry’s as I got a price match discount. My product was clearly a Chinese import, serial numbers and model written in Chinese characters, difficult to find the matching AC power cable when I needed to replace mine. Difficult to find the serial number, model number etc.9 months into using this laptop, it had a power surge or something and stopped charging the battery, at first I was told this was common, just needed to hold the power button for 40 seconds for it to reset itself, that worked.But then I noticed that it wasn’t charging, so bought a new cable, still didn’t work, sent it in under warranty to Asus, the warranty is only a manufacturer warranty, something you will want to check.Asus have eventually come back to me and claimed that the power surge is somehow my faut and therefore it is not covered under warranty, they are trying to charge me for a new motherboard and labour that exceeds the cost of the laptop.So for the 9 months I had it, it worked quite well, watched movies while in hospital and played a couple of games, hooked up to hospital wifi, it’s not a games machine, but it functions ok. I found when browsing I had to resize windows and when reading my emails it kept going into high quality mode, which made the characters difficult to read, but reading glasses helped, did some work while in hospital it was great, very nice keyboard, only pain is there is no light for the num lock, so while you can eaily switch it on and off, you cannot tell whether it is on or off except by typing on the number pad.The OLED screen was very clear and crisp, the only thing is once again the angles, it is an anti glare screen, so if you are looking at it from one angle it will not be as clear as from another angle.If you don’t mind buying a new laptop after 9 month, then I definitely recommend it…
