Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Vivobook 14 S416JA
It has an original appearance with its thin and light design in blue color present both on the shell and inside.
In terms of connectivity, this laptop is well equipped with its USB-C, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its audio port or its 3 USB all 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.
The screen is well suited to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content because it adopts a 16/9th format associated with a precise Full HD definition. In addition, as it is anti-reflective, the screen is more readable in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab. It is possible that it is IPS but it is to be confirmed. If so, its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, would then be important.
Performance, autonomy of the Asus Vivobook 14 S416JA
The Asus Vivobook 14 S416JA is a compact High Definition laptop with an original blue design designed for everyday use.
In this area, as in Surfing the Internet and office automation, it delivers good performance because it is built around an Ice Lake Intel processor low consumption Core i3-1005G1 as well as a good amount of RAM of 8 GB very useful in multitasking.
Thanks to the Intel UHD 620 graphics integrated into the Core i3, you can watch photos and videos. On the other hand, the game is not the cup of tea of this thin and light laptop in all logic with regard to its positioning.
Keep in mind that under CPU-intensive software, the Core i3 shows its limits like the AMD Ryzen 3 and less powerful processors obviously.
On the storage side, this Ultrabook with a blue design that does not leave indifferent welcomes an SSD that offers several advantages compared to a simple hard drive: greater robustness, lower power consumption, silence of operation and greater velocity.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, we get much faster starts/stops and software launches than with a simple hard disk. More generally, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness to use.
With its 256 GB, the SSD here embedded offers a capacity less than half the standard of hard drives. However, in the event that additional space is needed, you can use an external storage unit such as a USB-C/USB 3.0 device to get fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by compactness, finesse and lightness, bet on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.
