The ASUS Q526 Series Touchscreen is a 15.6-inch convertible laptop from ASUS's VivoBook Flip lineup, built for students and professionals who wanted a full-size touchscreen that folds flat into tablet or tent mode instead of staying locked in clamshell form. The line spans two processor generations, offered here as Intel Core i7 8th Gen. and Intel Core i7 10th Gen., so confirming which one you have matters before you get a quote. Even years past its original release, a Q526 with a responsive touchscreen and a healthy hinge still holds resale demand from buyers who want a secondary machine and from refurbishers keeping it out of a landfill. Pick your configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works if you want the details first. If you have other ASUS hardware sitting in a drawer, you can sell your ASUS laptop through the same page.

Confirm you have the Q526

The fastest way to confirm both the model and the processor generation is through Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter — the System tab lists the exact processor name, including whether it's 8th or 10th generation. For a plainer check, go to Settings → System → About, which shows the processor and installed memory without needing a separate tool. The sticker on the underside also carries the full model code, though on a well-used unit it can be worn or partly peeled off.

Core i7 8th Gen. configuration

  • dxdiag or Task Manager reports a processor in the Core i7-8xxxU family
  • Sits closer to the Q526 line's original release window
  • Often paired with an earlier BIOS build, visible under Settings → Windows Update → Advanced options

Core i7 10th Gen. configuration

  • dxdiag or Task Manager reports a processor in the Core i7-10xxU family
  • The later refresh of the Q526 line
  • Typically ships with a newer BIOS and driver package from ASUS support

Prefer a visual check? Fold the display back on its 360-degree hinge — if it lays flat into tablet mode or stands up in tent mode, you have the right chassis. The keyboard deck also tilts slightly upward at the hinge when opened, a design ASUS calls ErgoLift, and the bezel around the touchscreen carries the ASUS logo tucked in the corner rather than centered.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7 8th Gen. — U-series mobile chip
  • Intel Core i7 10th Gen. — U-series mobile chip with a faster single-core turbo and improved integrated graphics

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics on both generations
  • No discrete GPU in this configuration — fine for everyday use and light editing, not built for gaming

Between the two, the 10th Gen. i7 configuration is the stronger pull for buyers and typically moves the offer up more than any other spec on this page, since it pairs a newer chip with a meaningful integrated-graphics bump.

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen with narrow NanoEdge bezels, mounted on a 360-degree hinge so the panel folds flat for tablet use or stands upright in tent mode for video.

Audio

Downward-firing stereo speakers tuned with ASUS SonicMaster processing — adequate for calls and casual streaming, not a substitute for headphones on music.

Security

A fingerprint reader built into the trackpad or palm rest works with Windows Hello, so you can sign in without typing a password each time.

Ports & connectivity

The Q526 keeps a full-size port selection despite the convertible hinge, so most people can leave the dongle in the drawer.

Battery, build & more

Build

A mixed metal-and-plastic chassis typical of the VivoBook Flip family, with the ErgoLift hinge that tilts the keyboard slightly upward when the lid opens, helping both typing angle and airflow.

Software

Ships with Windows, plus ASUS's bundled utilities for battery-charging limits, tablet-mode switching, and driver updates pulled from ASUS support.

Market positioning

A mid-range convertible rather than a flagship — resale value holds up best when the touchscreen is fully responsive, the hinge isn't loose, and the battery still holds a reasonable charge.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter — the System tab shows the exact processor, which tells you whether you have the 8th Gen. or 10th Gen. Core i7 configuration. Settings → System → About gives the same processor detail along with installed memory, no extra software required. The underside sticker lists the full ASUS model code, but wear can make it hard to read on an older unit, so dxdiag is the more reliable source if the two disagree.
02 How do I tell it apart from the ASUS VivoBook Flip 15 series?
Check the underside sticker and dxdiag output first, since the Q526 and the standard VivoBook Flip 15 share the same 360-degree hinge, touchscreen size, and general chassis design. The Q-series naming is ASUS's business-channel branding for essentially the same convertible hardware, so the model code on the sticker or in the BIOS is the only fully reliable way to separate the two rather than relying on the exterior alone.
03 Can I sell it with damage — cracked screen, weak battery, or one that won't turn on?
Yes, damaged and non-working units are accepted, and the condition picker above adjusts the offer to reflect it. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove any device lock tied to it, since a locked machine can't be resold or refurbished. If the laptop won't power on, you can still ship it as-is — just note the issue accurately in the condition picker so the quote reflects it correctly.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The 10th Gen. i7 configuration is the biggest single factor, followed closely by a hinge that still opens smoothly through all 360 degrees and a touchscreen that responds evenly across the whole panel. Battery health and overall cosmetic condition matter too — a chassis free of cracks or heavy scratches pays better than one that's visibly worn. Including the original charger also helps, since a laptop shipped without one is treated as an incomplete unit.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before that finishes, go to your Microsoft account online and remove the device from your account list, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or disable it so the reset isn't blocked. Sign out of any other accounts — browser sync, cloud storage — while you're at it. Once you accept the offer above, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after inspection by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
