Hello and thank you,
Sadly, I don't really have much time right now to make a video or such, but I can give you some first impressions. So, to begin with the build quality, I'd say it's very good. Both the lid of the display and the front plate of the laptop are solid brushed aluminium and the back plate is made of sturdy plastic. Even though they did use plastic, I don't think that's an issue, since it's so sturdy, you wouldn't break it if you tried. The touchpad is also good (I believe it might even be glass, since it feels very much like it, but I'm not 100% on this), although it annoys me to no end that the two finger scrolling is inverted in my Win10 right now. I did install ASUS Smart Gesture and change the option there, but it had no effect.. but that's a software issue however. And I do love the design though. This thing is pretty. There is, however, one hardware issue, and that being with the WLAN adapter. My model seems to contain the Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Adapter, which I, after some research, found out to be a single band 802.11b/g/n adapter. I've, of course, also installed the drivers from ASUS's support page.
However, in the spec sheet on the ASUS product site, it says "Wi-Fi: Integrated 802.11b/g/n, Integrated 802.11 AC (WIDI Support), 10/100/1000 Base T". Does that mean this model has got 2 integrated WLAN adapters (and 1 LAN adapter, of course) and I've only managed to activate one of them so far? I sure hope so, since the adapter that I got working has a max link speed of 72Mbps, which would be unacceptable, if this was the laptop's only adapter. Should someone have an answer, feel free to post it, otherwise I'll contact ASUS support and let you know what I find.

edit: I've checked the sticker on the back plate of the laptop and it literally says "Contains Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 Single Modular", so there might be something wrong here
