1. Can you call this laptop “cold” or not? According to your personal feelings and compared to previous laptop models, if you had any.
He is cold only for tactile sensations. Those. under load, only the area above the keyboard is very hot, while the keyboard and touchpad are only slightly warm. But the iron itself is heated quite strongly - now, for example, at room temperature about 25-26 degrees, when the processor is loaded at 15-20%, the temperature is around 50 degrees. In reading mode 38-40. And at maximum load, he warmed up to 90 at the peak, then, apparently, he trotted over and threw off to 82-83. The previous Asus K56CB was about as warm as I recall.
2. The audio system. How satisfactory is the sound when connecting headphones or external speakers? Compared to something, desirable.
It’s in vain you ask me - a bear has stepped on my ear: D I personally like it, I can’t say that it’s worse or better than anything else. Now I compared it with Asus Zenfone 2 Laser - as for me it's almost the same. The laptop only has a higher volume and a little better detail, as it seemed to me.
