Yeah its ridiculously fast. My main problem is the bootloader and that it only has usb 2.1 If it had an unlocked bootloader and usb 3 and display outup its fast enough i could use it as a laptop. I tried linux in chroot and it runs smooth. It only has 2 years of updates but that wouldnt be a problem if the bootloader would be unlocked… The speakers and battery are good especially for the size. Talking about the size its perfect for my hands, a lot smaller would be too little for me. The headphone jack is nice but no sd card slot(idk why anyone needs that the base model has 256gb of storage and i use about 100gigs). The camera is good. Youre stuck with the stock software but its not half bad. The display is bright enough but it doesnt go dim enough for my night use so i had to use the display dim mode thing but that makes the colours worse(my eyes are extemely sensitive, i can see well in only moonlight i think for most people the brightness goes low enough). The 144hz actually works but it makes the colours strange. If you turn on the display dimmer and 144hz at the same time the colours become comically bad. Also if you need more brightness the 144hz mode is brighter. I dont really play a lot of games but in geometry dash it works really well, the touch is responsive. The boot time is horrible but idk why. Thats it basically, other than the bootloader and usb im happy with it.
It’s on my radar for a while and it annoys me so much that Asus betrayed the community and lied about opening bootloader unlocking again. Xiaomi 13 seems like an alternative if you remove their spuware and can cope with flashing AOSP.
