Whats Included
- ASUS Q506FA BI5T8

Q: where can I get the specifications. How much does it weigh?
A: The weight of the laptop is 4.19 pounds.
Q: What updates does this laptop require out of box?
A: Numerous updates and then a complete windows 10 new version update. Make sure to delete the previous version to free up about 18gbs. of space on the SSD, once you've upgraded to it. Plan on a couple hours with good internet speeds.
Q: Can I play DVD movies through this computer?
A: There is no DVD drive. You could use a thumb drive or external dvd drive to load movies.
Q: Does this have an integrated camera
A: Yes, it does have an integrated Infrared camera (1080p?...not sure, no info) and facial recognition as well. No fingerprint scanner though.
A: Just purchased this keyboard and YES it does have a backlit keyboard....white. The brightness is adjustable with the function keys. Why ASUS said it does not is concerning. Don't try to contact ASUS for anything either. I've tried every way to ask about ram and HDD upgrades on the site. You can only get automated answers that don't answer anything. The days of customer service are over.
Q: Is the SSD storage on this computer expandable?
A: Yes, the SSD storage is expandable.
A: I would wait and keep checking for a sale. I happened to get this laptop on sale the end of September for $600, $250 cheaper then the $850 regular price. Keep checking once a week up to Black Friday. But I would definitely say $600 for this laptop is a good price. After shopping around before buying it you can not touch a laptop like this for $600.
Q: Do you have to use facial recognition?
A: Absolutely not.
