    • Processor Model: Intel 7th Generation Core i7 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)

Q: What is the difference between the ASUS Q524UQ-BI7T20 and the ASUD Q524UQ-BI7T15?

A: I just got off the Best Buy "chat line" with customer support rep Allenessa. She said that the only difference between the two models is the color. Black Matte is more expensive. Otherwise, they are exactly the same.

Q: Is this laptop good for video editing. I’d like to take the 4K video clips from my drone and edit it a bit . Probably in Filmore or Adobe..

A: This computer gives me serious isssues in just loading. I wouldn't encourage you to buy it.

Q: Can you add a m.2 and boot from the m.2 ssd?

A: Yes, I installed an 960 EVO 250 GB SSD in the PCI-e bay and cloned the drive with the software "FarStone" included with this laptop. Just make sure you change the boot option in the BIOS.

Q: Can I add an SSD drive in addition to the 2TB drive that came with the laptop? If so, where can I find instructions for doing this and what SSD drive is recommended?

A: Actually, the responder to this was wrong. I was able to buy a Crucial SSD CT525MX300SSD4 internal drive that installs in a slot on this computer. Once I installed the SSD drive (removed the back cover, slipped it into the slot and used a screw to hold it in place) I was able to clone the original drive to this one and now the computer boots quickly and performance is as expected, with the original 2TB drive as storage but with the operation system and cache on the SSD drive.

Q: I just bought this laptop and at the top of the screen there are multiple camera eyes? Can you please explain what all four do? Thank you David

A: Face recognition log in is one of the uses... as is for skype and other software I'm sure.

Q: What is included in the packaging?

A: Included in the packaging is a sonic master speaker, charging cable, a cloth to clean the screen of finger prints, computer. I think that's about it. :)
