  2. I just picked up a ux501vw with 512 ssd, uhd (yes i know its "fake") matte screen, 16 gb ddr4, i7 6700hq and the 940M gddr5 for 800 bucks US. Pretty happy with that price.

    Just got this laptop two days ago…

    Everything is great, the only thing about this laptop that can really annoy users…THE 4K SCREEN HAS HORRIBLE ISSUES

    Photoshop, icons rearranging, Gimp, it seems that any old program needs manual changes to their UI and interface to make things readable. If you change the display, the words are either too big or too small. Some menus are super tiny. There are workarounds for this but it's a headache. I didn't know 4K for Windows 10 would suck so much ass. When you go from 4k to 1920×1080, the icons rearrange and the whole organization messes up. Sometimes you have to relog in and relog back in.

    Besides that crazy hassle, I like this laptop so far. It would be a 5/5 without these annoying things to fix. It's very hard to trouble shoot and I'm not sure when Microsoft will fix this. I would have rather had 1920×1080 as the default. But I guess, having 4k gives possibilities for future uses.

    So in a nutshell, just put this laptop at 1920×1080 to avoid display issues. 3k…I don't think it's a useful feature at all. Unless your only goal is to surf the web and nothing else. Video games, applications, all bad with resizing with lag or UI issues

    Also, you're probably going to have to do a clean uninstall for the 960M drivers. My card wasn't being used for Witcher 3 but runs perfectly on 30-60 FPS. Took me 6+ hours to fix this shit lol

    But why ? why it had to be white ? …BLACK version should be Deluxe B-)

    I'm saving for this computer. A few questions though. 1. Do you recommended this computer? 2. Does it handle high quality games and stuff? I would be so happy if you replied 🙂

    How would this be for 1080p video editing, productivity and maybe some lite-mid gaming by today's standards?
