It exceeds my expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Asus and it is even better than my still active 6 year old Asus. It was easy to set up, faster and offers features I can grow into over time.

Fast laptop but issues with touchpad.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop is pretty fast and can operate pretty well with multi-programs opened at the same time. Doesn’t lag much at all. The only issue is the mouse and touchpad. For two days now, my mouse has disappeared/frozen. Tried a couple of troubleshooting tricks such as the fn key + f9; still doesn’t work. I bought this laptop for college so I’m a little worried if my issue is minor or if I have to ship it out to get it fixed... -Another slight annoyance is the finger-print reader. Doesn’t really read well with my finger; sometimes takes forever or I have to use my pin password.

Amazing computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid computer. Surprised in a good way. Love that it can be used as a tablet. The solid state hard drive is ridiculous. It's amazing. So fast. So proficient. Wish it was still on sale. Would have bought another one

Best buy ever. (pun unintended)
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a new laptop, been using it for 6-7 months, bought it open-box. There was nothing wrong with it other than the trackpad not working (it didn't matter to me, it's touchscreen). Now compare to this to my Asus intel i7 5 gen processor laptop i was still using to this Asus 2-in-1 touchscreen Intel i5 8th gen. World of Difference! Faster startup, touchscreen, folding it into a tablet, small and portable, fingerprint scan (unique, but don't know if reliable), and 720p webcam. There were some sacrifices to be made: no number pad on the keyboard, smaller screen, no CD-ROM drive, less memory and ram, etc. This is not a video game laptop! However, it can play mass effect 3, and Skyrim V, etc. on low graphic settings well enough for the casual gamer. Anything requiring higher graphics it won't handle. It has the process speed for it, but not the graphics card. Forgot to add, that it does heat up when play such games. Takes a lot of RAM processing power. For Streaming/social media, works fine. Same with Wifi and Bluetooth. You can connect Bluetooth devices to this. So adding wireless Bluetooth headphones to this I would think possible. I can connect my Bluetooth Alexa dot speaker to this computer. So headphones would most likely work the same. I also tried my bamboo pen and it works. (On a side note, it's best to learn how to use your products well as it will better the experience with them. I don't know how to use my bamboo pen that well, but there are probably more features I haven't uncovered.) For what you're buying, it's not bad. I do recommend that you do your research before hand while certain stuff is on sale. Because they won't have good deals forever. I hope this was insightful.

great for what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a lightweight laptop to edit photos away from home and this has worked out great so far. I cover live music for a website and this really helps meet deadlines. Powerful enough to work my editing software and light & compact enough for easy travel. The SD slot is a big plus that didn't seem to be available on any of the similar models of this size. Not a huge drive, but enough to store a weekend's worth of shots, so no complaints there.

Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has beem great. Sometimes it does wierd stuff. Loses its pointer on the screen(touch screen unuseable). Audio shuts off... just wierd lil glitchy stuff. But, Im sure its due to automatic updates. Just kinda annoying. Had zero issues. Been great during covid. Wife does school online.

This a nice looking lightweight laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this laptop at a great price and had some gift cards that I used to help pay for it. It’s fast and has a backlit keyboard that is convenient when using it on a plane. It’s got lots of USB ports and an HDMI port as well. For me, the only downside is that the hard drive at 128 gig is not big enough. But I definitely got my money’s worth!

Q: QuestionDoes the Q405U have an M.2 slot or just normal sata?
Asked by Nateorious.
- A:Answer ASUS's answer is NOT TRUE. The Q405UA has a 2280 m.2 socket, as well as an open SO-DIMM socket. There is 8GB of RAM on the motherboard and the computer can be upgraded to 16GB of RAM. I'm not even sure I believe their other answer about not having the SATA board. I've attached two images of the motherboard, it is the same board that's used in the TP410UA with a slightly different firmware. There is also a SATA 6 board that attaches to the motherboard of the BI5T5 model that has a part number of 90NB0FS0-R10010. It may exist on the BI5T7 model as well as the only difference is the SSD. ASUS's support really doesn't have any idea what's actually in their devices, and that's deeply disturbing.

Q: QuestionPlease tell me it has a cd dvd drive, if not which laptops have one.
Asked by barbanne.
- A:Answer BarbAnn, like you, I'd been looking for a laptop that still has an optical drive (the CD/DVD player). The other day (May 2019) I took notes on 4 laptops that have it. Basically, not many do any more, but there are some. None of the 14" laptops seem to have it. But these 15.6" laptops do: Acer Aspire E 15, model # E5-576-392H (there are other Acer Aspire E 15s that do NOT have it, so make sure you see it in the specs). Retails $379. Acer Aspire E 15, model #E5-576G-5762. Core i5 processor, 8GB memory. Retails $500-$600 range. HP Notebook with AMD processor, 4GB of memory, retails $259 (the most affordable option I found with optical drive). (Did not write down model #). HP Notebook Touch Screen with Core i3 processor and 8GB of memory, retails around $600 (did not write down model #). One thing I learned is that people get around the lack of optical drives these days with an external DVD drive - something you buy separately and just plug in to the laptop when you need it. The best rated one I saw was called ASUS ZenDrive 07M, and it retails for around $30. When I realized that, I decided I'd rather have a smaller laptop, and will just buy the external DVD drive separately. Hope this helps a little!

Q: QuestionIf 128gb SSD will be removed and upgraded. What model or brand of SSD will do just fine with this device? And the removed SSD, can it be used for external? if any adaptor exist?
Asked by James.
- A:Answer You don't need to remove the installed 128GB SSD (it is hard to get to, as it is under the motherboard). The installed drive is an M.2 drive, so there is an empty SATA slot where you can add another SSD or hard drive. I have done this, and you can go into the BIOS and select which drive you want to boot from.

Q: QuestionIs this laptop equipped with Bluetooth?
Asked by Tilda.
- A:Answer Yes it has Bluetooth . However I have only connected a wireless printer through the Bluetooth. So I really haven’t tried earphones and other devices.
