Ooh New Laptop
Bit the bullet and upgraded from an old Asus X551M, Dual Core build for Windows 8!
This thing is nice and shiny! Â I now have a Asus (Didn't realise) VivoBook.
Intel Core i5-8265U Quad Core with Eight Hyperthreading
12GB DDR4-2400 RAM
Intel Optane 512GB (476GB Usable)
Intel UHD Graphics 620
2x USB2 on the left
DCIn, Full Size HDMI, USB3 Type A, USB3 Type C, Headphone/Microphone Jack and MicroSD Card Reader.
The one thing interesting about it is the ScreenPad.
It has a second smaller Monitor below as the trackpad, but can also be used for launching app's, help in Applications and other things.
It has so far exceeded my expectations in getting it setup.
Should give me a bit more freedom thanks to it's battery life.
21:44 Update, Thought I would turn all the lights off and see what it looks like in the dark. Â I am an touch typist so all I need are my F and J keys and I'm set. Â But, having a backlit keyboard is just so amazing.
Let's hope for many adventures with this laptop.
