For an intel i3 HP did very well.
One thing though..
If you know what you are doing, please either have Geeksquad set up this device, or wipe it clean. Even though this has an SSD, McAfee causes a lot of slow down for absolutely no reason whatsoever and there is a lot of other bloatware on here enabled by default. The user experience after updates and a full system cleaning makes it run lightning fast So yeah, just a small amount of work needed upfront, but that's general on all windows PCs anyway

Honestly on sale these aren't bad at all.
I mainly wanted to try the apple experience and so far I haven't had any bad issues with these cans.
They act just like air pod pros switching between all your devices and after a 'warm up' or rather, break in period, the pressure you feel with how tight these are against your head lessens overtime.
Oddly enough however, I prefer using these with ANC off and transparency on 24/7
ANC is way too strong on these however when you are listening to music its fine, silence and its daunting.
As for sound, they do have the best bass of any apple product too.
The only downside I have with them is the battery life. Yes 20 hours is a lot in a single sitting. However the fact there is no automatic shut off unless its in its case, is annoying. I have a stand and I have to charge them at least twice a week due to this however I do have a magnetic lightning cable so its not such a hassle. Oh yeah..these have a lightning port so there's that too..

i usually love Logitech seeing as they tend to know what they are doing when it comes to comfort and usability. However I'm concerned over this mouse, and overall hear me out, its nice, it does the job, but it caused interference with my headset and other peripherals to the point i couldn't use anything but the mouse.
I have a MacBook pro, with the M1 chip, and it worked fine.
but i couldn't use my air pods, or really ANY other Bluetooth device with the mouse working at the same time, not sure why, but that was my main issue, and no, it wasn't just this PC, it was also happening on my family's pc as well as they use a Bluetooth headset and couldn't do anything with the mouse connected.

other than that issue, it worked nicely, even with multi-linked PCs

This stylus fits in with your ipad rather well and throughout the time of me owning this, i've mainly just used it with its rounded tip instead of the pointed tip that requires pen input.
With a pen it works almost the same as the apple pencil, the only issue is the fact apple has pressure sensitivity. If thats needed than you have no choice but to go with apple here.
Otherwise you can make deal with this pencil.

This single handedly was the best monitor purchase I've made thus far, and I feel spoiled with it. The only downside of this monitor is the fact its 4k30 with HDMI on a mac with the m1 processor via HDMI with better color or, DisplayPort with limited color options, and 4k60. So its nice, but there's a trade off there. Also this could also be a limitation of my adapter as its running through a docking station and not directly towards the monitor
On a normal windows PC, or at least those with NVidia GPUs it works perfectly fine, 4k, 60hz on HDMI with full color and display port.

Basically long story short there is not much in terms of customizational options you can do to this black box.
However, once it is setup it effectively can turn every amazon enabled device with a screen into a TV screen for basic TV.
I will say one minor issue. This box does have software to block cable providers. My HDHomeRun picks up local unencrpted channels just fine. This thing will straight up show nothing whatsoever when plugged in. So keep that in mind, it LITERALLY forces you to use a antenna, which isn't too much of a hassle, but it is disappointing because in a way, those channels are freely obtainable.
Oh and also, something to note, the channel guide will automatically update itself accordingly, but in some locations you'll need to manually, and forcefully set a different zipcode where you want your channels. I had to call amazon to fix my box, and after 48 hours it was fixed and everything worked flawlessly.
I would actually buy a second one of these, since I have 6 TVs but, we don't use all of those units at once, and secondly, you for some reason can only have ONE recast at a time, which is disappointing, but hey. I'm not that upset over it. Still worth the money.

And pretty much can handle any other game you throw at it.
Now, that being said. There are a lot of goods and bads.
The goods:
3 USB Ports on ONE side of the notebook, which keeps all your cables neat and not problematically in the way.
Power,, HDMI & Ethernet are on the back of the laptop, which is very nice, but for a truly clean and minimal look, i wish one USB port was on the back of the laptop as well.
No USB Type C, which I'm not upset over, but its lacking here.
And other than a headphone jack, that's all you got.

Realistically this laptop performs exactly like other laptops in its field though ASUS does give you a lot of added software to make gaming a bit more beneficial and smooth for you.
The new version of windows is used here, so no longer will you be using legacy modes and drivers to update software and features, Most of it is done through the windows store, which is an excellent thing because then you don't have to ever touch updates yourself, its done for you.
But, that's mainly just the goods.
As for everything else..
For the starting price, some people would expect a high refresh rate display on this computer. The limiting factor on this laptop is its HDMI port, only able to truly output 120hz maximum so getting 144hz displays running on this machine might require a bit of driver modification or, might not be a reality with HDMI.
And on top of that the display in this model is only 60hz. IPS yes. Awesome colors too, yes. But only 60hz. Which is fine for everyone that isn't shooting things down in CS GO.

The Keyboard is okay, but very annoying to use sometimes.
Primarily it comes down to software.
For some reason..instead of having one application control the keyboard lighting and macros, there are several individual applications that do this very thing. Now normally this probably wouldn't be an issue however, if ASUS decided to update ANY, and i mean, ANY of those apps. All of them will break keyboard RGB functionality.
Which means you'll have to uninstall the drivers, and reinstall them.
In the worst case scenario, if you don't your keyboard will default to red, which is fine with me, but it is, very problematic that happened twice over the month of me owning the device.
Both times of which required manual user intervention to UPGRADE the bios on the PC, to fix product support issues with the keyboard. I just hope that does not crop up in the future, being that this device is new.

Lastly, Battery life is terrible. Don't expect a great long lasting battery, or more than 3 hours. this unit does not have a big enough battery to do just that.
THOUGH, it does have the ability to limit the charge rate on the battery to 60, 80, or full capacity, which i love to see. This allows me to prolong the life of the battery especially when I'm not using the PC outside my office.

i understand that the recast has 4 tuners in it an if you watch tv you loose 1 of the tuners but what if you were to split the antenna an run one to the recast an one to the tv would you still be able to use all four tuners even though you are watching tv
The box itself is tuning those channels. The signal strength should change splitting the cable.
If you plug one end of your splitter into the TV and the other into the recast it should still have all tuners available while you are strictly watching TV on your TV.
Now if you plugged in the TV, but are watching TV through the recast then yes you will lose a tuner, making three available so long as you're watching tv that way.

What is the speaker output for this model
It has a 2.0 configuration for the speakers.
ASUS says with SONIC MASTER 3 software the speakers can deliver an experience similar to 4.5w speakers
Surprisingly the speakers do have a lot of punch when tuned right, but the mids and highs sound muffled due to the speaker location.
Lastly there is a Headphone/mic combo jack.
