Not saying it is better in all respects, but definitely in some, meaning there are definitely alternatives.
- jhickok 3y agoI think it's good to correct some exaggeration, but personally I would still prefer an 8gb M2 with small storage on a laptop that easily gets all day battery life. If it were going to sit on my desk 24/7 connected to a monitor, then I'd take the Asus ExpertBook. But as someone who travels and works from home but works all over the house or out of coffee shops, I would easily prefer the Mac.
- gs17 3y ago>personally I would still prefer an 8gb M2 with small storage And it would specifically have to be an M2 since they upped it to 256GB minimum. I have the lowest end M1, and the tiny SSD is a constant pain when combined with the lack of RAM.

- MBCook 3y agoWell the two reviews give it 1 star as a quality control dumpster fire. And the screen is 1080p from 15 years ago. No thanks.
- samuell 3y agoEach specific configuration gets its own product page, so the distribution of reviews might be a bit random. Haven't had an issue with mine, except a bit noisy fan that was fixed with a recent firmware update. Battery life is stellar as well and I can easily go on for the work day and more with it, from what I've seen.
