CPu performance w the i5 is great. The screen could be brighter though and the speakers are awful hollow sounding, the speakers on my 7 yr old HP Pavillion that this replaced are much better!

    I bought a similar one (Model no F1502ZA-NB54) from Walmart Cyber Monday sale. The PC runs smoothly so far however I wished the screen was a little more bright. Moreover, there seems to be a yellowish tint (yellow/green colors more pronounced than red) on the screen and I am trying to figure out if that can be changed from the settings. The keyboard and the speakers doesn't seem to be too bad though though it would have been nice to have the backlit function.

    It has probably the worst keyboard I've used. The keys are very uncomfortable compared to every other laptop I've used - they feel very hard to press and hurt your fingers after a while. I am making a lot of typing errors and it is slowing down my words per minute. The sound is also not great from the speakers. It's very low which makes you use headphones as it is difficult to watch videos or have team/zoom calls. The screen is not really bright - looks very dim. For the price, its just a budget laptop - invest in a better laptop

If I have read your review earlier, I should have bought LG Gram 17" which is more advanced in terms of its configuration at roughly the same price. Totally agreed that the port come with Asus is a bit outdated as it does not come with USB 4.0 and thunderbolt like LG Gram. Also, LG Gram is using WQXGA which is much better and come with resolution of 2560x1600 and also its powerful battery life of 19.5 hours.
