Asus Q505UA-BI5T7 15.6″ 2-in-1 Touch Laptop (FHD, Intel i5, 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Silver Aluminum)

The Asus Q505UA-BI5T7 is a mid-range 2-in-1 convertible notebook, usually priced at around $730. The best selling points of the Q505UA-BI5T7 are its 360-degree rotating 15.6-inch screen with crisp Full HD resolution, IPS wide viewing angles, and thin bezels, as well as a powerful Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor, large RAM size of 12 Gigabytes, a premium-looking sandblasted aluminum silver casing, and fingerprint reader. Also, the notebook’s weight of 4.2 pounds is quite light. On the negative side, the laptop uses a capacious but slow 1-Terabyte 5,400rpm hard drive and doesn’t have keyboard backlight. Similar laptops usually have much faster (but smaller) solid state drive storage and backlit keyboards. Furthermore, some of similar 2-in-1 convertibles include a dedicated video card for smoother gaming, whereas the Asus Q505UA-BI5T7 relies on usual Intel UHD 620 graphics with basic gaming performance. Asus claims the Q505UA-BI5T7 provides a battery life of up to 6 hours.
