Definitely a steal at the price i bought this for. Initial impression is that this thing is super light, almost 1/2 the weight of my Asus ux501vw but with the same screen dimensions. Hard drive is slow and definitely needs to be replaced by an SSD. I Bought an M2 gen 3 SSD, but it does not fit, appears that this is NVME. Also, popped off the back cover and added a 16gb stick in the empty slot. My guess is that this can handle 32gb, which makes it such a steal. keyboard feels firm and no flex, screen is nice for the price range. Battery life doesn't seem to be more than 5 hours, but i expected that going in. Battery charger is super tiny and lightweight, which is an additional advantage vs the 1 lb brick that you have to lug around with the ux501vw. Word of warning, the back cover is a PITA to take off, almost breaks the warranty on how difficult it was to remove. Edit: it definitely supports 32gb ram as that is what i installed last night and it is running just fine. also the m2 slot is nvme, i just ordered one as my m2 gen3 ssd did not work due to the connector. if i can figure out how to post pics, i will do that shortly. This is a great deal!
