### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality laptop
*by R***E on 5 December 2025*

Excellent computer, very easy to read screen and usual ASUS quality. Easy to set up and load programmes onto it . Fast loading and storage access.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing laptop - versatile uses
*by J***S on 13 December 2025*

I've had this laptop for around ~9 months now. What I really like is the range of uses -- I've used this for gaming, internet browsing, messaging, video editing and it's handled everything great. While to me it's not the most aesthetically pleasing laptop in the world with just being a grey square, it certainly doesn't look bad but I might've considered getting a different colour. The portability is decent, but it's not exactly light by any means, it's not uncomfortable to carry. It's battery life widley depends, but I've managed to do some internet browsing and document editing on the go on a full charge for ~4-5 hours. It does get quite warm when doing tasks like gaming - however. Your lap does get quite warm and when gaming it is prone to randomly shutting off if you're pushing it beyond its limits but as long as it's in a sensible place and it is 99% of the time fine. Overall I bagged this for £500 which was an absolute steal but with it now being £600, it might be worth looking around the market a bit more.
