Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus VivoBook R415JA-EB1790W
With its thin and light light silver design, this laptop sports a sleek and discreet look.
This Ultrabook runs on Windows 11S, a security-centric system because it only allows the installation of applications from the Windows Store. If desired, you can get out of S mode for free to migrate to classic Windows 11, but then returning to S mode is impossible.
It is equipped with a good connectivity composed of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port but also 2 USB compatible USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a device USB 3.0.
The screen benefits from IPS technology ensuring significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles, which is appreciable. On the other hand, expect an average colorimetry obviously at this price level, below that provided by more high-end IPS or OLED panels. In any case with its 16/9th format and its precise Full HD definition superior to the 1366×768 standard, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content. In addition, as it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the Asus VivoBook R415JA-EB1790W
The Asus VivoBook R415JA-EB1790W is a responsive compact laptop designed for everyday use.
With its low-power Ice Lake Core i3-1005G1 Intel processor and 8 GB of RAM, this stylish silver Ultrabook delivers good performance in everyday use, such as office automation and Internet surfing.
Note in any case that this Core i3 shows its limits under CPU-intensive applications, like the AMD Ryzen 3 and of course less powerful processors.
If it does not include a dedicated graphics card in all logic with regard to the price charged, this thin and light laptop still obviously allows you to watch photos and videos thanks to the Intel UHD 620 graphics solution housed in the Core i3.
SSD storage clearly enhances responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive because it is silent but also less energy-consuming, more robust and much faster.
Concretely thanks to the SSD, the starts/stops and launches of software are faster than with a hard disk for example.
It is a 256 GB SSD that is integrated here, capacity less than half what hard drives offer as standard. However in case one needs more space, one can add a second SSD or a hard drive via the free 2.5-inch slot.
We also have the possibility to use an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to obtain fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose compactness, finesse and lightness facilitate transport, bet on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.
