Verified purchase“Brilliant ASUS laptop. It has a good battery especially when you put this in power saving modes, under gaming though it does eat your battery so be prepared to plug this in the mains. i love the RGB lighting effects on the keyboard. It feels robust and with good specs. This laptop should serve me well.”
