My last laptop was also an Asus, but this one was much more lightweight and portable. I loved how easy it was to transfer my files onto my new laptop. The battery lasts the entire day. Also I was pleasantly surprise on how fast it boots up. However I never did get the fingerprint login to work. No matter how much I tried it did not accept my fingerprint--no big deal. I just went back to using my pin. The only other issue I had, keeping in mind that I am a senior citizen and not tech savvy, was getting my wireless printer connects. Now everything is perfect. Asus makes quality, innovative, laptop just as great as the big tech brand names, but more affordable.
