In terms of audio, the high-quality stereo system designed by Bang & Olufsen ensures an immersive sound experience, whether listening to music or watching videos. The 256 GB SSD storage capacity also ensures fast loading times and increased responsiveness when using programs. However, the Asus GL551JW has some drawbacks. Its weight of 2700 g can make it less portable, which is not ideal for on-the-go use. Furthermore, the 256 GB storage capacity may not be sufficient for those who need to store large amounts of data. The lack of a touchscreen also limits user interaction, which may not suit all users. Regarding connectivity, the absence of USB 2.0 ports and Thunderbolt ports may restrict compatibility options with certain modern devices. Finally, the unspecified battery life raises concerns about usage duration without recharging, especially for users on the move. Overall, the Asus GL551JW is a high-performing laptop, but it is important to consider these aspects before making a choice.
