Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus VivoBook Go 14 S1404FA-DRNK329W
Rechargeable to 60% in 49 minutes, this versatile laptop, which is rugged with its compliance with the MIL-STD-810H military resistance standard and can be opened 180° completely flat, has a discreet appearance with its black, compact, thin and light design.
This laptop integrates a decent connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi 5 ac and Bluetooth 4.1 modules for wireless remote connections and communications, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a monitor or TV for example, its audio port or its 2 USBs including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
However, it’s a shame not to find newer and more powerful Wi-Fi 6 ax, or a chiclet keyboard backlighting system, even if this feature is not standard at this price level.
In any case, one feature that those who regularly enter numbers will appreciate is NumberPad.
When enabled, NumPad converts the touchpad into a touchpad.
The Full HD screen is well suited to displaying videos thanks to its 16:9 format.
Its anti-reflective coating gives it better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a glossy panel.
