Absolutely love this guy's catch phrase "coming up!". Please don't ever lose the catch phrase. Love these reviews. Keep up the good work.

I prefer matt display too, but a glossy shouldn't be considered as cons since some people would prefer it especially since it's OLED

[SeaLevelTZ]

I absolutely love how in depth this is covering every possible thing someone might need to know. Its also great how its completely honest about the good things and bad things about it.

[mwdaros]

Trust me, glossy display is not a weakness. Especially not with oled. A matte finish ruins the experience by degrading the detail.

Thank you for your review it really helped me make the right decision to pick this laptop up. I got it yesterday, and I'm loving it so far!!

Got this laptop for $274 BB open box. So far I’m getting 6+ hours on it w/ 90Hz. Good laptop for just web browsing.

I was just looking at this one on BestBuy, seems like a good deal on new tech. 12th gen intel chips seem to be killer for new and upcoming Laptops . And at $750 it competes with other Windows Ultrabooks and The base model Macbook Air as well.

Asus feels like a Honda build quality at just the best prices around. I have this and an XPS 15 9510 and the build quality is better on the ASUS, the 90Hz is so neat. Would adore this laptop with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. $650 sale at Best Buy for a little bit. A neat machine to be sure. Thanks for the awesome reviews.

For a 720p camera Andrew, it's not too bad and the internal mic quality is crystal clear!! It's a pretty good laptop for $750. Absolute Brilliant and very thorough review!!! 👏👍😁

I purchased the best buy entry model on sale for 550 dollars, what a great deal, love this laptop.

[JRInTroy]

not having a numerical keypad makes me crazy so I appreciate the attempt to provide one for a compact keyboard

[jetmartin]

Thanks for the Great review.This is truly an EXCELLENT value for $750! I think the port selection is very reasonable. Love the fact that it includes a SD card slot. With that said I always have a wish list. My wish lists for this system would be the option to use the AMD 6000 chipset (with RDNA-2 integrated graphics) option with USB-4 and a larger battery and a matte display option. I don't think any of these wish list items would add to the material cost of the system and it may help with thermal issues (warm temps) and improved battery life.
If you speak with Asus rep ask them if they have any specific plans to support the AMD 6000 with this laptop. Enquiring minds want to know. 😉

This is very often on sale for $499 at Best Buy. I like the screen, ports, usb c charging. Great deal overall.

[OmFreeRadical]

*Wow, very Professional & Detailed Review!! Keep it up*

[alexcuevas]

I really love how this laptop looks and I'd say it's an amazing MacBook alternative for anyone that may not be able to afford one or care less about it. I may be considering this device for college and so far so good :)

[nathanng]

Battery life is the biggest downside for me because I’ll be using it for University and it would be best if it could last a day. Wonder if the amd version is any better. Other than that solid laptop and awesome review, thanks!

[bensanterre]

I just bought one with an i7 1260p, 16 gb ram and 512 gb ssd. I love it but i'm a little bit worried about battery life. I keep the screen at 60 hz and luminosity at around 60% but i'm getting about 5-6h of battery life watching videos on youtube, web browsing and a little bit of word processing. Maybe i'm just too picky coming form a HP spectre x360, but right now that's the only thing that bothers me. Great screen, trackpad and keyboard by the way!

[flightoftheflightless]

Hi Andrew! Great review thank you so much for doing this. I feel like many reviewers have skipped over the value options recently especially when it comes to Asus so it is really great to have such a detailed and thorough review for this laptop. Any idea when and where 16 GB ram model might be available? It’s the one thing keeping me from picking up this bad boy today and if I could find it with 16 GB I jump on it in a second

[sanimauigoa]

I've been waiting for this! Thanks for the review!

[jarekmroz]

Great review, thanks you
It happens I have 2 of those laptops UX3402ZA with i5-1240P / 16GB already one with OLED / gloss/ touch and one IPS / matt / non touch screens.
One of them has been upgraded with Samsung SS980 Pro to take advantage of PCIe 4, and it is very fast indeed.
I do prefer IPS/matt screen even it is only 60Hz refresh.
