I still like the power of this computer but it sucks that I can't use it to create videos for my website and YouTube channel. Updated on 9/11/16 Originally, I gave this review 5 stars, as you can see below. I am removing a star because the graphics/screen is pretty low quality. I have a horizontal line across my screen, and movies/TV aren't nearly as sharp as they are on other devices. Not the end of the world for me, but pretty close. I use this for graphic editing for my business and I like seeing movies as sharply as possible. Not delighted. Otherwise, what I wrote in July remains true. 7/7/16 I just received my laptop yesterday so I can't promise I'll never update this review, but I've already used it for a number of applications - online and offline - and so far, I am SO PLEASED!

So far, I am impressed. I decided to name her Ember. PROS: 1. To begin with, Ember is a speed demon. She's very fast, and that is great since I just took up programming and the like (think C#, Unity, ASP.NET, front-end applications with HTML 5 and CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery, Bootstrap, etc.). My IDE (integrated development environment) is Visual Studio, and everything start-ups in less than a second, not to mention that app load-up times is less than 2 seconds. 2. Ember is also great at multitasking. I've had a previous Asus (don't remember the edition or model) and even a 2015 MacBook Air, but they fall short when it comes to running several programs and applications. So far I've been able to run a full scan with Windows Defender, download Microsoft Office 2016, download Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community Edition 2015, browse my emails, and listen to...
