Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus VivoBook S17 S712JA-BX372T
With its ErgoLift Hinged Transparent Silver light silver design that raises it slightly forward when opened, this relatively thin and lightweight large-format laptop sports a sleek and unobtrusive appearance.
The integrated connectivity is good, including a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor for example, Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi ac wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, an audio port, 1 USB-C or 3 USB all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guarantees transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device to it.
The screen adopts a definition of 1600×900 as well as a 16/9th format, in short classic characteristics for a 17-inch. However, its anti-reflective treatment makes it more readable than a shiny slab in bright environments (e.g. exterior) and less tiring for the eyes in prolonged use.
Performance, battery life of the Asus VivoBook S17 S712JA-BX643W
The Asus VivoBook S17 S712JA-BX643W is a relatively thin and light 17-inch laptop intended for everyday use.
Thanks to its low-power Intel Quad Core i5-1035G1 processor and its good amount of RAM of 8 GB, it delivers good overall performance able to satisfy many users.
On the other hand, it will not interest those who wish to play and more generally perform heavy graphics work since it does not include a dedicated graphics card.
But of course thanks to the Intel UHD 620 graphics solution housed in the Quad Core i5, you can watch photos and videos.
On the storage side, there is an SSD that clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard disk because it is much faster, quieter, less energy-consuming and more robust.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster, for example, as are application launches.
With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, in the event that you need more space, you can use an external storage unit such as a USB-C/USB 3.0 device to benefit from fast transfers. We also have the option to add a second SSD or a hard drive via the free 2.5-inch slot.
As for the autonomy, bet on about 6 hours on battery in light use for this relatively thin computer with controlled weight for this type of large format PC certainly not the most easily transportable that is but which is particularly comfortable in the context of a mostly sedentary use (eg at home).
