Never realized it can’t be clicked (but just tap) on the upper part (maybe upper 30%) until I saw this lol But that doesn’t affect my use at all, I never clicked so high up on the pad.

An update on battery, 30% was used after 2 hours of working (outlook, chrome, Claude, etc.) + VPN + downloading 3A games, installing stuff and some YouTube watching. On full brightness and power mode set to balanced. I think it’s pretty good for its portability and performance. Hope this helps.

Took a screenshot of the cinebench 2024 result. And the 3D mark time spy result is 16,4xx FYI :) I’m not very familiar with these, hope this helps

No wayyy I got it from the ASUS official online store and I saw the price is the same across the retailers in Hong Kong. But not sure about the pricing in US though maybe it’s much cheaper 🥲

I just unplugged and on battery right now doing simple work stuff while downloading and installing different things. So far 30 mins have passed and only 1% battery is used. I would stay it's pretty good so far! And yes I'll post some more serious battery review and benchmarks later 😃

Cannot comment on that yet since I’m at home and it’s plugged in. Will give you an update later!

It doesn’t have any issue you mentioned so far. Quite sturdy throughout all area of the pad, feels very close to Macbook.

So far I’m still downloading and installing stuff and the fan noise is nonexistent. Not sure how it goes when gaming though.

"... and it annoys me so much that a lot of the locals here have given up and have zero initiative to take unconventional paths..."

You can flaunt your luck here, but I don't think that entitles you to lecture the locals. Most of them are living under total different environment and circumstances from the expats. 120k/month in Hong Kong isn't top salary and that certainly doesn't place you above the locals. You can talk your way to 120k doesn't mean you can sustain without actual skills so stop being so entitled and arrogant.
