    Very good

    Bought to replace a broken laptop. Intended for gaming without the need for great pretensions, the PC is really good (replacing an HP with a 2019 I5 and 8gb of ram).

    The installation of W10 is done without problem and ultra quickly. You just have to create your usb key with W10 and copy a folder that you can download directly via a link given by ASUS via QR code/link (https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1044458. Install W10 via the drivers on the USB key and it's fine.

    After a few days of use, the lady is delighted.

    Ordered on a Sunday in Belgium, received via DPD the following Thursday, so perfect!

    Very good laptop.

    I have had this PC for 3 days and have just finished installing it. I started with W10 but as I had an error in the "Intel High Definition Audio" device manager which refused to install despite trying different driver versions, I switched to W11, and there, no more problems. This PC is really good. To test it in game mode, I installed FarCry6, and I am really impressed. The game runs at 60Fps in Full HD "1920*1080" the maximum mode for this screen and "Ultra" video mode in the game. It's great. The less good points are the autonomy, I wonder how Asus can announce +or- 10 Hours when in reality it is rather 2h00 /2h30 in cushy mode and much less in game mode. The RTX3050 is still very energy consuming. The screen is good, but not great, as always on laptops the reds are orange but nothing serious, the MAT side is up to each person, I found it rather nice. I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one, and I'm not sure if it's a good one.

    Satisfied ... but waiting for further tests

    I had a big problem with my previous purchase: MSI GF75 Thin 10SC-007XFR.
    Impossible to use a GNU/Linux system (Mageia 8) after installation and update (and this after one year: I tried again a few weeks ago).
    On the ASUS F17, for the moment, everything went well but I don't have time to continue my tests. I'll resume them at the beginning of August and will keep you informed if I have a new problem.

    Good machine for gaming or virtualisation

    Bought it mainly for virtualisation under GNS3/VMWare.
    I put 2 stars down because when I received the PC the battery was COMPLETELY empty and to this day I'm not sure if it will last.
    Good value for money upgrade.
    I'm not sure if it's going to last long or not, but it's a good value for the money.

    Good Machine and performance on Windows 11

    Machine with good performance and quality. One star less because it is necessary to recover the driver of the disc for the installation of Windows 11 and no driver detected, even after the installation of the Drivers ASUS... no explanation! Using a network card in USB to let Windows Update do its thing and everything works fine.
