I am not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to computers, so my partner helped me pick out this laptop. I needed a new computer due to my last one basically crashing every time I had Word and the internet open at the same time. I also enjoy gaming on the PC and the only game I dared run on my last was The Sims 3 (which barely worked anyways).
This ASUS laptop is fantastic. I can run so many programs at once and it doesn't skip a beat. Being a student, I have to attend Zoom classrooms, and I'm able to run Zoom, Word and the internet all at once with no problems. (This may not seem like a big deal, but it's a MAJOR improvement for me..) This beast also runs The Sims 4 like a DREAM. I have not yet tried any Steam games, but I'm very confident I shouldn't have any problems just based on my experience thus far.
Another aspect I'm thrilled with is how easily video chat programs like Skype run. I get to have a Skype movie night with my best friend- who lives 730 miles away- every week, so far, without any hiccups. Even during these crazy times and being socially separated, I'm still able to play DnD with my buds with a computer plenty competent to make that happen with ease.
I'm incredibly happy with my purchase, it was worth every penny. (:
