A:AnswerThat's odd that ASUS would say there is a fingerprint reader. For the model shown here there is not. There is another model similar to this one that does have one. THIA MODEL DOES NOT. The fingerprint reader would be visible as a small square in the upper right corner of the mousepad. There are dongles for them though I;ve never used one, If you are concerned about security there are USB keys that can be purchased. If best Buy has them their search is too dumb to find them. Here are some amazon search results that show what I mean as well as some fingerprint dongles. Don't know if they'll let that link through so just search for: usb+security+key+for+windows+10

A:AnswerHi,
I have the same issue and found this fairly reasonable adapter here:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/j5create-usb-3-0-to-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-gray/2001047.p?skuId=2001047
Haven't gotten to try it yet but USB3 shouldn't have a problem handling Gb speeds. I saw some on ebay that claim even higher rates but that's kinda silly given ethernet only goes up to 1Gb duplexed.
A:AnswerI'm going to post a picture of the inside. There is a slot for a 2.5 inch drive but I can't for the life of me figure out how it's powered. And I was in there adding memory. However, if you get a powered hub ( they are very cheap) you can run one externally at pretty good speeds from the 3.1 ports.
A:AnswerThat's not an easy question to answer but you can see for yourself using this excellent utility:

These are the two best utilities out there for answering questions about your hardware.
A:AnswerThe whole system has one 4GB DDR4 2400 chip soldered to the motherboard and one 8GB DDR4 3200 in a slot. The chipset only supports up to DDR 2400, so the 8GB DDR 3200 runs at 2400. Fortunately, the RAM still runs in dual-channel mode.
The APU's GPU uses 2GB of that system RAM. There is no way to adjust this in the laptop's BIOS.
