Featuring a NumberPad numeric keypad module, the Asus Vivobook 14 R415JA-EB1809W is a thin and light laptop with a 14-inch IPS Full HD anti-glare screen that benefits from a fast 512 GB SSD storage that enhances its responsiveness as well as USB-C connectivity. This Ultrabook with an elegant silver design that runs on Windows 11 is powerful in common use thanks to its Quad Core i5 Intel Ice Lake processor and 8 GB of RAM.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Vivobook 14 R415JA-EB1809W
It sports a sober and elegant design with its thin and light silver chassis.
This laptop is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its audio port or its 2 USB compatible USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guarantees transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in a USB 3.0 device.
We regret not to find a more recent Wi-Fi ax, nor a backlight system of the chiclet keyboard.
However, it comes with NumPad technology (NumberPad) to convert the touchpad into a touchpad to more easily enter numbers.
This is all the more appreciable since, like all laptops whose format is less than 15 inches, there is not enough space on the right to house a numeric keypad.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. Its colorimetry is however average, lower than that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos due to its 16/9th format. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook 14 R415JA-EB1809W
The Asus Vivobook 14 R415JA-EB1809W is a responsive compact High Definition laptop for everyday versatile use.
Many users will be satisfied with the performance delivered by this Ultrabook in common use because it relies on a quad Core i5-1035G1 low-power Intel Ice Lake processor associated with 8 GB of RAM.
Some may regret that the Intel UHD 620 graphics solution is modest, allowing you to watch photos and videos but not adapted to the game.
In any case, SSD storage will interest many users, because it is silent but also less energy-consuming than a hard drive, more robust and much faster.
As a result, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk, which implies in particular much faster starts/stops, processing and software launches.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with what hard drives offer as standard. However, in the event that you need more space, you can obviously use an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by lightness, finesse and compactness, bet on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.
