Well worth the money
Posted .I compared many laptops like Dell XPS 13, Macbook 2015, Macbook 2016, HP Spectre, HP Spectre 360 and none offer the specs of this Asus for $1200 price and the Q324ua outperformed the majority of them. This a really slick machine that is smaller than my Acer Chromebook 14 but has the power to handle intense task. Only 2 issues like others have reported it's a fingerprint magnet and the you can fan on heavy loads, well I'm old school and use to hearing fans louder than that so does not bother me. Jetstream benchmark score gets around 200.(Octane pictured)

LOUD NOISES
Posted .Cons - Louder than a space ship blasting off - Oils from your fingerprints show up all over the machine I read the reviews about how noisy the cooling fan was. Still decided this was a great deal, and I was going to see for myself. I've built my own computers - and fan noise I can normally find soothing. I thought I was watching Top Gun when I powered this puppy up. It sounds like a jet engine preparing for take off. You need ear protection for this. It's unbelievably loud and totally unacceptable. It will chill out, but as soon as you browse the web, open a tab, anything that requires barely any CPU usage, it roars. I returned the first one I got, assuming it was a lemon like the others who complained, and got another new one. It's come with the same issue. I've been out of the computer world for a few years... I find this ridiculous for year 2017. I have to imagine that the folks who say it's quiet are older. (This is a real thing) Older ears can not hear high pitched noises as much as younger ears can. I called ASUS. They already got their money, so they told me to kick rocks basically. They also said I'm the only person to complain about this issue with this model. Best Buy has been nothing but good so far to me through out the entire buying and exchanging process. So, I'm sure I'll have no issues sending this back. This laptop is fast, it boots in about 6 seconds. I like the screen, the keyboard, it's backlit, and it looks slick and modern. The touchpad can be a little annoying trying to highlight words on a webpage. The color of this machine is lovely, but my gosh, the oils from your fingerprints show up like there's no tomorrow. I'm doing a short review on YouTube. Will post videos of the fan noise, and why you'll need a good cloth to clean this thing all the time. The model number will be in the title. My two calls to ASUS made me rethink who I'll be purchasing my replacement from. I wanted to love this machine.

Well-built, thin, light, powerful. Amazing Value.
||Posted .My new ASUS Q324U Notebook PC arrived today and initial impressions are very good. Impressive build quality and design. Full HD screen is beautiful with excellent color reproduction and has 10-point touch capability. Hinges feel solid and transition from notebook to tablet mode is easy. 16GB DDR4 memory makes this machine fly. I run many programs and they all load almost instantly and respond quickly. The 512GB is a Hynix M.2 2280 NGFF style (not pcie) and is plenty fast. Again, apps load almost instantly and I don't feel like I'm waiting for anything on this machine. Keyboard feels good. It's a short stroke keyboard like a MacBook and feels comfortable. Backlighting works great and has three brightness levels. There is light bleed around the keys (especially the upper row) but it doesn't bug me. For the price, this machine is the current value king of the slim and light notebook world. If it had a glowing fruit logo on the lid, it would cost $2,500. For the price at which Best Buy is selling these, you get solid value.

Extremely good PC
||Posted .After owning a MacBook Air for the last several years, I decided it was time to upgrade however, the new MacBook Pro's were a little out of my price range. I purchased this computer after doing hours of research both online and in the store. I had originally decided I was going to purchase the Samsung Notebook 9 Spin and drove to my local Best Buy (third trip for this purchase) to take one last look and make a purchase. That is when I noticed this laptop, the Asus Q324. It didn't take me long to ditch the Samsung in favor of this computer due to this computer having better specs and only $100 more (at the time) than the Samsung. Although this laptop only has a HD screen (1920x1080 resolution), it is more than enough resolution and the screen looks very nice, and is very bright! I usually keep the brightness on 75%. In comparison to the MacBook, this computer is excellent. Very nice, aluminum build (although there are some cosmetic concerns I'll discuss in a second). Has a great selection of ports including USB-C, and also super thin and lightweight. There are really four major things that other reviews on here for this product point out: the "loud" fan, the battery life, the speakers, and the computer being a fingerprint magnet. I'd like to talk specifically about those four things.... 1. The Fan: yes you can hear the fan on occasion. Is it bothersome? Not to me. It does get a little louder than most laptop fans I've heard, but honestly unless you are using the laptop at the library or in a cave (or unless you have extremely sensitive ears) you will not even notice it. After reading reviews on here I was picturing a turbine or some huge noisy fan however, that just really isn't the case. The fan usually only gets its loudest when doing something demanding like watching videos for an extended amount of time. I am a scientist and I spend most of my time in a shared office space and I never have a problem with the fan noise. I would rate the fan a 7/10. 2. The battery life: If you are like me, battery life is a pretty big concern. I came from a MacBook Air that had excellent battery life. I've read mixed reviews on this issue for this computer. I can honestly say through experience that battery life for this computer is very good, not exceptional, but very good! Like I mentioned, I am a scientist and I spend a lot of time writing, working on spreadsheets, watching videos, and working with PowerPoint. I can get through a whole 8 hour day on a single charge usually. Not always but usually. So I would have to say that if you are using this computer moderately, you should be able to expect somewhere between 6-7 hours of battery. I would rate the battery life an 8/10. 3. The Speakers: I have read several reviews on here stating that the speakers are not loud enough etc. The speakers sound great for such a small computer and are definitely on par with MacBook Pro speakers. I have no issue hearing movies/videos, or listening to music on these speakers. I would rate the speakers a 9/10. 4. The computer being a fingerprint magnet: I would say out of all the issues the reviews talked about, this one is on point. This machine is a fingerprint SUPER magnet! That is no joke, and no exageration. I love the black aluminum build of this computer however, I really really wish they had made it with a texture or something to do a better job at keeping it fingerprint free. I don't think I've ever witnessed a laptop that collected fingerprints as easily as this thing does. Within 2 hours of unpacking it and messing around with it, the computer looked nasty with fingerprints all over it. I would rate this a 2/10. OVERALL, this is an excellent computer! I would highly recommend it especially if you can get a great price on it like I did. By the way... a MacBook Pro with specs like this will cost you almost twice what this machine costs. PROS: excellent build quality, fast, high specs, large SSD, beautiful and bright touchscreen, reliable, great battery life, very good speakers, thin, lightweight, great keyboard (very similar to MacBook Air), great selection of ports (including USB-C), small power/charging brick, great price! CONS: fingerprint magnet, trackpad is very sensitive and somewhat slick (glass) almost like a MacBook trackpad but a little less "precise" which is not a deal killer at all it is just a consideration. One last thing to say... some reviews mentioned light leak around the screen. I have not noticed any light leak at all on my machine. It may happen though, so that may be something you want to check out.

Great but not perfect
||Posted .The overall specs, size, finish of this laptop are fantastic for its price. Mine only has a full HD display, but at 13.3 that's OK for me. It has a premium fit and feal and is about the same size as the Yoga 900. The bad: no pci-e ssd (whether it could theoretically support one, I don't know), but it comes with a reasonably snappy 512 GB SATA III ssd. Still, not very future oriented for a new product. The speakers are NOT very loud. Most of the time it isn't a problem, but if you get one of those embedded videos where the volume is already not very loud, it is hard to hear even with everything maxed out. The keyboard lighting is not on a sensor, but f-keys. But worst is that the finish is super slippery (not good for an ultra-portable that converts to a tablet. I am in perpetual fear that I will drop it. The finish also really collects oils and looks smudgy, similar to the razer blade's finish-premium,stylish, but never clean looking. Still, happy overall with my purchase.

excellent computer
||Posted .I've had this computer for over a week, and I can't find anything to complain about. It starts up and shuts down quickly, it has a nice screen and keyboard, and it's well built and sturdy. I'm on it for at least four hours a day, reading newspapers and magazines, sending and receiving emails, and doing a little work using business software. It runs so quietly that I don't even know if it has a fan, and it keeps quite cool. The battery lasts a long time and charges quickly. It's pretty light in weight and sometimes I use it as a tablet, but I don't recommend holding it unsupported, as you would hold a phone, for it's a little heavy for that. All in all, I'm very happy with this computer and I'm glad I bought it.

Quality + Performance / Price = Excellent Value
||Posted .Asus has created a well performing 2-in-1 style laptop with this Q324ua. Being accustomed to Apple products, the build quality is very good, but not quite on par with an Apple product. Still, the laptop is very solid by PC standards and the hinge is sturdy, at least during these first couple months of use. The Q324ua performance is also much higher for much less money vs the Apple laptops. The performance is good for a low Watt CPU without compromising on battery life though this is more Intel's accomplishment. There are two primary gripes that keep this from being a must-have/five-star product. - First, the fan can be quite loud and somewhat sporadic (you can override this but you will overheat if not careful, there is quite a bit of hungry silicon crammed into this slim case and the thermals just cannot always be managed without the noisy fan). -And second, there is only a USB Type-C port but it does not support thunderbolt--only USB 3.0. Another missed opportunity was to provide an NVMe m2 SSD for a bit more storage performance, but the SSD performance is solid enough for most users so I cannot discount the product too much here. Overall, this is a stellar laptop at the given price point (sub $1K). It has a solid feel and decent keyboard and trackpad and the handy fingerprint reader--just be sure to add many extra training sessions in Windows because it is nowhere near as good as TouchID. However, you still cannot get a touch screen in the MacBook world at all, so if that is what you are after, it's better to keep comparisons limited to the PC world. That being said, if you need a solidly built but light and highly mobile Windows 2-in-1, then this is among the best options. It is possibly the best choice once you consider the price. At present, you need to spend another 40% on one of the 2017 2-in-1's to get an option with a better screen, faster storage, and full thunderbolt support. Bottom line, even if the quality bar is not matching Apple, the price is considerably lower hence it is an excellent value.

ASUS Q324UA 5 yrs old and still going strong
||Posted .Still have this ASUS - Q324UA to this day, 10/18/21. Purchased 12/4/16. This laptop is nearly 5 years old, is super lightweight at 2.8lbs. I put it through it's paces, with multiple Internet windows and tabs open in each (~100 tabs in various windows at any given time). I regularly max out the number of windows, along with running MS Office applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Graphics applications, Communication applications, etc. at the SAME time. This is a 'fingerprint magnet', so I got used to wiping it down every so often. I am only now experiencing 'out of memory' errors and battery draining < 1 hour off power charger, so will be on the hunt for another like computer. This was an outstanding purchase that was worth the price (at that time) to NOT have to upgrade earlier. Tech typically lasts me two, maybe 3 years, so this was just outstanding. Very pleased.

Q: QuestionHave had for almost a month now. Is anyone else having problems with the keyboard not locking when flipped all the wall in tablet mode. Tent mode locks keyboard but as soon as I fold it 180 degrees (keyboard and screen back to back) the keyboard unlocks
Asked by formulabird.
- A:Answer Yes, I had this problem as well. I'm guessing there is an issue with the flip sensor as when flipped all the way, any movement caused a popup asking me if I wanted to switch to tablet or desktop mode. Tablet mode was extremely flaky, so ultimately I returned the laptop.
