★★★★☆
Great but some obvious improvements though
Great great great laptop. Love it, strong upgrade from my aging Core i3. I followed the popular recommendations to purchase the 128GB SSD along with the 1TB hard drive. Very fast, nice screen, like the fingerprint sensor. Here are the shortcomings that keep it from a 5. 1) Power key is located within the keyboard up at the top right corner. It is adjacent to the often used Delete, Backspace, and Home keys. Really? This passed their use case criteria? I often miss the Delete or Backspace keys and am accidentally putting my laptop into sleep. Several decades of best practices in designing laptops has led to this? Sigh. Deep. Sigh. Found the workaround at a CNET article. Since Amazon won't allow URL's in reviews, just Google "Asus Vivobook power button" and it will be the first link. 2) Keyboard is not backlit. This should be a simple feature addition that is minor in terms of cost. Merely an LED and a light tube. Would have been worth a few extra buck were this to be included in their bill of materials. 3) No Ethernet port. Sometimes it's necessary to be hardwired into a router to configure things.
