Media reviews
Now, the laptop has a really robust construction, meeting the requirements for the US MIL-STD 810H military-grade certification, which is in addition to the tests conducted by Asus. Suffice to say that these laptops can easily withstand your regular commutes, and metro crowds are nothing to worry about.
The metal chassis feels solid, the hinge is smooth yet firm, and the whole device weighs just about 1.5 kg and stays under 20mm thick. It’s compact without feeling fragile.
It’s not just built well, it’s built to take a beating, comes with surprisingly good internals, and carries a bunch of features that most laptops in this price range simply don’t offer.
