Verdict
Although the Asus Q524UQ’s design is truly beautiful, its slow HDD, poor viewing angles, and mushy keyboard make this 2-in-1 an extremely difficulty sell, especially at more than $1,000.
For those who need a heap of storage out of the box, the 2TB hard drive might be worth the price, despite the fact that it is so slow, while supporters of the new USB Type-C port will enjoy the Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, but in our opinion, there are many convertibles in this price range that are far better.
