Asus Q504UA-BHI5T13 15.6″ 2-in-1 Touch Laptop (Intel i5 CPU, 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Aluminum Silver)

The Asus Q504UA-BHI5T13 belongs to the popular 2-in-1 touch-screen laptop category, with band back design. Its 15.6-inch touch display mounted on 360-degree rotating hinge features crispy Full HD 1920×1080-pixel resolution, but lacks IPS technology for wide viewing angles. That the main drawback of this 2-in-1 model. Inside the sleek “sandblasted” aluminum silver chassis with chrome display hinges, backlit keyboard, and single-piece trackpad, the Asus Q504UA-BHI5T13 incorporates an Intel Core i5 processor. It’s accompanied by 12GB of system memory, a 1-Terabyte hard disk, and all important notebook features, excluding a DVD optical drive. Asus has pre-loaded Windows 10 Home operating system on this notebook.

The heart of the laptop is the latest 7th Generation Intel Core i5-7200U (test) dual-core CPU with Intel HD 620 (test) integrated graphics. It’s a mid-range processor offering effortless completion of the daily computing tasks. Most PC users won’t need anything more powerful for the day-to-day home and office duties. On the other hand, some professionals like music and video producers, as well as hard-core gamers might need a more powerful CPU, such as one of the quad-core Intel i7 chips. However, the quad-core i7 CPUs require better cooling and thus thicker and heavier notebook casings, so the i5-7200U is one of the best CPUs for sleek convertible 2-in-1s like the Q504UA-BHI5T13. The included Intel HD 620 graphics is good only for casual gaming and some more demanding game titles on low graphics detail settings. If you regularly use a lot of programs simultaneously, the Q504UA-BHI5T13 is an excellent solution for you, since it has a large RAM capacity of 12GB. That’s enough for very heavy multitasking scenarios. Also, the provided 1TB hard drive storage is very spacious, but the HDD lacks speed of SSD-type storage.

This 2-in-1 model has stereo speakers, a web camera, Wi-Fi 802.11AC wireless, Bluetooth, three USB 3.0 ports and a compact USB-C port, HDMI video output, a combo audio connector, and a media card reader.

Asus claims the Q504UA-BHI5T13 has a battery life of up to six hours.

The chassis measures 0.7″ in profile. The laptop weighs in at 5.1 pounds.
