Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Vivobook 14X S1402IA-EK014W
Rugged by its American military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H, this versatile thin and light laptop sports a sleek and discreet look with its light silver Icelight Silver design.
The connectivity is correct, consisting of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, an HDMI video output useful to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or 3 USB compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 ensures transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
Too bad, however, not to find Wi-Fi ax and Bluetooth 5 modules more recent and powerful, nor backlighting system of the keys of the chiclet keyboard.
In any case, lovers of High Definition content will appreciate that the screen adopts a Full HD definition associated with a 16/9th format suitable for playing videos. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a glossy slab.
Performance, autonomy of the Asus Vivobook 14X S1402IA-EK014W
The Asus Vivobook 14X S1402IA-EK014W is a compact processor-based laptop designed for everyday versatile use.
It delivers good overall performance to satisfy many users because it relies on 8 GB of RAM coupled with an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 4600H Hexa Core Renoir processor of older generation that reveals its full potential under software exploiting multicore CPU resources.
If players will pass their way since no dedicated graphics card is embedded, thanks to the Radeon Vega 6 solution directly integrated into the Ryzen 5, you can watch photos and videos and even indulge in light games.
On the storage side, there is an SSD that rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being silent, less energy-consuming, more robust and much faster.
In practice, thanks to the SSD, we get much faster start/stop, processing and application launches than with a hard disk, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
In general, the SSD guarantees a much better responsiveness and fluidity to use than a hard disk.
In case 512 GB is too fair, however, one can obviously rely on an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 device to get fast transfers.
Finally side autonomy count on about 5 hours on battery in light use for this versatile laptop elegant and robust whose transport is facilitated by its compactness, thinness and lightness.
Expect it to be heard and heated in case of strong solicitations (eg treatments).
