Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Vivobook R515EA-EJ1817W
With its thin and light light silver design, this versatile laptop sports a sleek and discreet appearance.
It is equipped with a correct connectivity 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 modules for wireless 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 a USB 3.0 device is plugged into it.
With its 16/9th aspect ratio and precise Full HD definition, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab.
Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook R515EA-EJ1817W
The Asus Vivobook R515EA-EJ1817W is a thin and light 15-inch High Definition laptop designed for common versatile use.
Many users will be satisfied by the overall performance delivered by this thin and light laptop as it is built around 8 GB of RAM and a low-power Quad Core i5-1135G7 Intel Tiger Lake processor.
The latter houses directly the Iris Xe (which we tested), a graphic solution thanks to which you can watch photos and videos but also play modest titles.
On the storage side, there is a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, in the event that this is too fair, we can obviously rely on external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to enjoy fast transfers.
In any case, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a simple hard disk, such as its silence of operation, its greater robustness, its lower energy consumption or its greater velocity.
In practice, the SSD guarantees a much better responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis than a simple hard disk, which implies in particular much faster application launches, processing and starts/stops, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
As for the autonomy of this versatile Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by the controlled weight and finesse, bet on about 5 hours on battery in light use.
