Whats Included
- ASUS Q304UA 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 6GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive
A: There are 4GB that you can't remove and 2GB in the slot that you can change out to 4GB or 8GB to max it out to 12GB (replace existing 2GB stick with 4GB stick).
Q: Can I change out the hdd for an ssd or is their an existing expansion slot?
A: Yes, you can replace the 1TB 5,400 rpm (fairly slow) hard drive with an SSD. It's fairly easy, as long as you're reasonably handy with a screwdriver. I replaced mine with a 256GB Toshiba Q Pro SSD. Runs very, very fast. Boot-up is nearly instant, and that's WITH BitLocker installed on the boot partition. Get one.
A: The specifications clearly state that there IS NO DVD player or disc tray in this model.
Q: i have question about keyboard backlight.. why it is not working
A: There's a Button for turning on your backlit, find it in one of your Function keys, ex. F1- F12, fund the symbol that looks like a keyboard icon with flash.
Q: How well does the built-in fingerprint reader work?
A: It works really well. I bought this about 4 weeks ago and I haven't had to type my password not even once the fingerprint reader has worked every single time for me on the first try and you don't need to apply much pressure either.
A: Aluminum top, aluminum on keyboard, plastic on bottom. Build quality is good, but compared with an HP 360 about on par, Can't compete with the better HP spectre brand tho. BUT price wise, it's just as good. No loud noise at all--left it on for hours while updating Win 10 and can barely hear it. When it shuts down I barely notice the noise either. Fan relatively quiet. Does not heat up very much
Q: How is the battery life (without battery saver options) and How is the mouse/track pad?
A: It varies; using power-saving techniques (lowering screen brightness, turning off WiFi, BlueTooth, etc) you can get close to 10 hours. Typical, however, is 7 to 8.5 hours. Pretty good for an i5 processor.
A: I had bought it too and it would not take updates from Microsoft and kept in a continuous loop of downloading updates until I logged into website then contacted support via chat to have them take over and find issues, fix them, then they updated me to the Windows Creator Edition and have not had any problems since It actually helped smooth out how it boots up, boots down, and runs. Now I have a great looking and great running laptop.
