The media could not be loaded. Hello everyone,After using this product for a week here are few points highlighted as pro cons :PROS:# AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor is far better than i5 8th gen from intel# 8 gb ddr4 ram is hell lot of power punch to conduct every task smoothly# 256 gb latest ssd is amazingly supersonic# ultra luxurious body and feel, not like cheap plastic# pre loaded win 10 is simply osm,100/100# people commented that speaker output is average but believe me it's not ,check my sample vdo attached# Asus provide registration and troubleshoot of every problem through myasus, make sure you all register there after purchase# battery back up is around 3 to 3.5 hrs ,decent enough# multi tasking is easy go on this machine# boots up within 10 seconds, BOOMMM# no heating issues like you will find in ho machines# silent machine ,you cnt even hear the fan rotations# transparent silver body with super narrow bazel is just cherry on top,YUMMY# weight is top notch 1.6 kg easily manageable# side view is not at all bad with FHD, even I thought how wud it be but it JUSTIFIED every view angle# keyboard is intact and super responsive# mousepd does the job as lower right and left side has that spring press feel which we get it on physical mouse# even after connecting it with hotspot it never let down my work, easy going smooth# finger print scanner has best touch I have ever seen# equipped with extra slot for ram and hdd and it does come with that protective silicon casing required to fit additional hdd, but I am happy with sad for the time being# charger build quality and design is of latest dimensions not like that old fashioned clumpsy cables# SO THESE WERE THE PLUS POINTS#LETS TALK ABOUT FEW CONS OR SAY IT AS IMPROVEMENTS:# Webcam quality is so so but with upcoming updated this issue will be resolved soon ,right now it is 0.8 mp# no backlit keyboard but agin majority of models comes without this feature, else increase your budget and compromise on 1 or other factor, NOTHING IS PERFECT, we always find some shortcomings in everything ,so not a big deal for me# no ms office pre loaded but market is flooded with lot of such arrangements and can be easily managed within your frien circle, I did the same# people got confused with battery backup but if you follow all power mgt option correctly you will receive 3.5 her backip easily and remember as I said previously install MYASUS,register your model on site and they will provide you all resolutions# it was preloaded with McAfee covering 1gb of ssd, so I searched all antivirus for a week and installed TREND MICRO japanese antivirus which is working excellent with lightening speed covering only 450 mb 8nstead of that McAfee 1gb, if you are planning to buy go for 3pc 1yr subscription that will cost you 290 rs only, dont worry it's supper effective on malware, spyware and especially ransomewere# packing doesn't include carry bag which should be there , so I managed by my own.IN SHORT I would say this machine does what it says and we all know that in order to find a laptop we keep may things in mind like: brand, ram, SSD or hdd, battery backup, fhd or hd, 14 inch or 15 inch, cpu clockspeed etc etc and believe me after searching for more than 45 dys I finalised this machine based on ground reality and the ki d of work I can do. You won't find any laptop with made in India logo on it, all are either Chinese made or assembled in china else wait for moe 1 yr to get suitable deal but remember with the current scenario electronic prices are booming up ,I bought this for 37k earlier it used to be 32 k and in coming times this will cross 49k easily as mrp is 43999, I REST MY CASE HERE AND WISH YOU HAPPY AND JUSTIFIED BUYING, STY SAFE STAY BLESSED.

This laptop is amazing for its price! I bought it for 36k without any offer!Pros -1. Very Lightweight and Portable!2. Built is plastic but the quality is very good! Doesn't feels fragile at all!3. Asus Sonicmaster for Speakers! The volume is good and bass is felt in every song! The category speakers shine out in is Mids! Mids are very punchy and audio is clear and loud enough for a non gaming small laptop! Audio is best out there in this price range! Dell and hp can't even be compared this laptop dominates in audio department! Comes with stereo dual speakers and positioning is best! And it has got the dedicated app for Equalizer, echo speaker, Dolby trusurround, Dolby dts!4. Performance is a big hit here! Ryzen 5 3500U just slams the I3 10th gen to dust, and is somewhat faster than I5 10th gen.! And talk about graphics, it's a no brainer, even i7's integrated graphics are weaker then Vega 8 this ryzen 5 has! Can handle Hitman 2 2018 in 720p HD mode and low settings in 47fps and it's a resource hungry game, very damanding! I also tried apex legends 720p HD low gives 53fps, COD Warzone 720p HD Low gives 41fps, GTA 5 720p HD Low - 55fps! Being an integrated graphics it's a beast and best amoung i5's and i7's Integrated graphics! A smart move by AMD, they have integrated your RAM to Vega 8, Providing it 2GB of your Ram and GFX has become a beast! Well done AMD!5. Display is good when viewed from straight angles and bezels are very thin! Look is very elegant!6. Battery charging Speed is decent! Charged it from 0-100% in 1 hour and 24 minutes!7. Keyboard is very precise and soft touch keys are there!Cons -1. Viewing angles are bad! Colors wash out when u change the angle, but can't complain as it's a sub 40k ranged laptop with ryzen 5, but da little improvement is needed here!2. Battery degrades faster than it should, it's a trait AMD is known for there is no surprise in that! AMD are like Exynos of smartphone world, but much more powerful than Qualcomm(Intel). Only 4 hours backup time, for this capacity battery i3 provides 6 hours and i5 gives 5 hours easily in normal usage! AMD is the reason! But not a complain again.. Ryzen 5 is one hell of a powerful processor!3. Another downside of AMD, heating issues, in this laptop it's very much controlled though! When I played GTA 5 it tends to heat alot! Keep it on desk or a table and u are good! Fan speed is a little slow for processor this powerful! But then again i3 and i5's integrated graphics can't even run GTA 5 above 20-25fps which isn't playable! Still not a reason to complain here! But asus should have known that AMDs are sceptical to overheat and should have provided 2 fans or atleast speed should be more for 1 fan!4. If we have to add hdd and ram, we have to open whole cover, and 7 screws, my other laptop has just 1 screw for ram partition and 2 for hdd partition! Should have been easy to add ram and hdd!5. As Vega 8 have been provided 2gb of memory to make it much more powerful, usable RAM is 6gb as 2gb is reserved for Graphics! But then again, it's a good thing for casual gamers, as it can run any game u throw at it due to this smart move by AMD!6. No ethernet port! RJ-45 missing!7. Camera is not that good, only 0.3MP, but is decent for video calls and online classes! Just struggles at low light but considering the price it's still decent!8. No backlit keyboard!Verdict -A must buy under 40k, very powerful and good for casual and light gaming too! Some Trade are there, but those not a deal breaker at all! Very powerful, but not very efficient! U buy a much low powered and slow but efficient i3 or i5 which can give u much better battery life, or u buy a Ryzen 5 which is alot more powerful than i3 and equal or even better than i5 if u consider those graphics, a more future proof processor ryzen 5, but compromises on battery efficiency!As they say, POWER COMES AT A COST!

Bought it for 35000 rupees. I've been using this laptop for over a month. Here are some pros.- Build Quality is really good.- The camera is average but it is inside the top panel so it will not get scratched unlike most of the laptops.- Screen is very bright and colours look great.- AMD Ryzen 5 doesn't lag at all. I haven't done gaming on this but for coding and photoshop it is very good. Graphics are too pretty good!- Battery - Coding-6hrs, Youtube- 6-7hrs, Photoshop- 3.5hrs, PDF reading-8.4hrs !- I opened more than 8 chrome tabs and it handled it pretty well.- keyboard is really comfortable and touchpad is smooth.- Takes only about 1.15 hours to charge.Cons:-- AMD Vega 8 graphics consumes 2 gb of ram.- Viewing andgles are average just like any laptop under 40000 rupees.- Laptop heats while charging and the charger feels like lava.- Text written on keyboard is not visible when source of light is at the back.- Doesn't have LAN port.Overall a very good laptop under 35000 rupees. The cons are not a deal breaker.
