ASUS - 2-in-1 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2TB HDD + 256GB SSD

Q: How do you turn on the back lighting on the Backlit keyboard?

A: Push the f7 key—-1,2 or 3 times for different brightness

Q: Few questions 1. Is the SSD soldered or can it be changed to a larger capacity? 2. is the SSD NVMe or normal SATA SSD ? 3. Same with the HDD, can it be changed to a 2.5" SSD ? 4. Is memory changeable to a higher capacity or better speed ? Thanks

A: I hope this answers all your questions.. one there is 11 torx screws on the bottom cover to remove XI is in the middle of the board covered by a tiny rubber circle you will need a razor blade to get it out . 2 then you will need like a thick guitar pick I started where the SD card goes in and using my fingers and pop the clips off then you just go around with a plastic pry tool I recommend using something that like a kit for an iPhone that's what I used and just continue to go around the board until all the clips pop off , the bottom cover I mean. then you have access to everything the m. 2 again it's just one screw and it slides in like ram. The regular hard drive is not even screwed in it's just in a rubber groove case. and with the texture of the rubber against the plastic holds it in place so that's very easy to either removed if you just decide to upgrade to like a 1 terabyte m.2 or to do what I did and put the one terabyte and a 500 gig SSD and place of the 2tb spinning drive this is very easy to work on the tools you will need will be that and iPhone repair kit with the little guitar picks. I recommend a 1 terabyte Samsung Evo 860 I got mine for about 120 they run about 160 on Amazon now so wait for them to come down in price. You will need an m.2 external enclosure this will make it so you can clone your original m. 2 and not lose any of your programs that came with the software. before purchasing the M.2 enclosure decide if you're going to go nvme or just a SATA as they are completely different enclosures . SATA comes with it stock not pcie Nvme. I did try the nvme it gets very hot they say up to 75 degrees C I didn't even game and it got up to about a hundred and fifty-four degrees Fahrenheit so I took mine out and went with the one terabyte 860 Evo SATA. again make sure you wait for sales you shouldn't have to pay more than 135 for the one terabyte 860 Evo m. 2 and the fact that you can put that in RAID mode and basically doubles the speed of the m.2 . It's not soldered in . you can take out the M.2 to easily just one screw holds it in and the 2 terabyte hard drive can also be swapped for a solid state drive 2.5 inch or 7 mm I threw in a 500 gig Samsung 860 Evo so this way I have 1.5 TB pure solid state. I did a test with nvme Samsung 970 Evo but it did not reach its 3gb potential only about one and a half so I then swapped it for a 1tb Samsung 860 Evo put it on I think it's RAID mode . now the Samsung magician is saying that I'm getting 6000 megabytes read and 3000 megabytes right which I don't believe it's supposed to be about 550 / 530 . My boot up time is between 7 and 10 seconds. You can also advance the ram. What I mean by this is you only start out with I think 2900 MB of RAM and you have 16GB so you just right-click under this PC go to system properties then advanced then unclick the automatic box and then type in whatever you want I did eight gigs so it's 8 * 1024 and then most people times that by either 1.5 or 2 for the second box which is your virtual ram so you can even put 16 gigs in the first box and then 32 in the second box as. 32 gigs is only your virtual ram this will help a lot in gaming and video processing otherwise you don't need to do this just leave it as it comes stock as it's fast enough

Q: I see that Best Buy says that the Wacom Bamboo Ink is bought with this product, but I don't see this computer listed as compatible with it, so what stylus pen is compatible with this product?

A: I got the bamboo pen and it works fine with this laptop

Q: Does this laptop run hot and does the cooling fan come on a lot?

A: mine doesn't. I've heard the fan like once and just barely.

Q: What is model name, laptop name on from asus, also what are the ports we get ?

A: Asus Q536FD-BI7T15 - has one each of USB 2, USB 3, USB-C, HDMI , SD reader, headset

Q: Can the USB C port be used with an HDMI adapter? Meaning can you hook up two screens, one using the current HDMI port and on using an USB-C to HDMI adapter?

A: No, I was on a call with ASUS just a few minutes ago and the C port is only for data transfer up to 5GB...it's not for display. I bought a J5 Create HDMI to USB 3.0 adapter from Best Buy ($60) and that worked...I now have twin displays going

Q: Does anyone use this laptop for gaming? I'm looking to do some light gaming and was wondering if this was a good buy.

A: The GTX 1050 Max-Q 2GB is a pretty weak chip. Its decent, but a lower end gaming card nonetheless. It can handle today's titles at 1080 on high-medium to medium settings. 4k gaming will not be fluently playable at nearly any quality setting. the nVidia control panel comes preconfigured for power savings, so you'll want to turn that to 'prefer max performance' first and optimize texture filtering and quality settings for performance.

Q: Is the screen anti glare?

A: Yes, it has an antiglare surface. I'm not as impressed by it as the glossy screen of my older 14" Lenova Yoga, though. I'd rather fight glare by turning the screen a little, rather than look at it through a frosted window. Also, the screen is slower than my older notebook. Scrolling text is brown and blurred until it stops. I bought this partly for the Invidia graphics processor. I sometimes process batches of photos that take a half-hour or more with built-in Intel graphics. I hope this Invidia chip speeds that up, but haven't tested that yet. I'm still crossing my fingers that the screen itself is slow, but the PC can process graphics speedily behind the scenes.
