It sports an elegant and discreet design with its light silver Transparent Silver design thin and light.
This versatile Ultrabook has good connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its audio port or its 2 USB 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 connected to it.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. In addition, with its 16/9th aspect ratio and precise Full HD definition, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more generally High Definition content. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in bright environments (eg outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the Asus VivoBook S515JA-BQ2557W
The Asus VivoBook S515JA-BQ2557W is a thin and light 15-inch High Definition laptop for everyday versatile use.
It delivers good overall performance able to suit many users as it incorporates 8GB of RAM as well as a low-power Intel Ice Lake Quad Core i7-1065G7 processor.
The latter has the advantage of integrating theIris Plus G7, a graphics solution that we tested whose performance is superior to that of the Intel UHD 620.
In practice, you can watch photos and videos but also run modest games on this thin and light laptop.
On the other hand, it must be ed in mind that if you often want to carry out work heavy in processor and / or graphics resources, you benefit from opting instead for a PC based on a non-low-power processor and / or a suitable dedicated graphics card.
As for storage, Asus opts here for a silent SSD but also less energy consuming than a hard drive, more robust and much faster.
In practice, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk, which implies for example much faster starts/stops, processing and launching of applications or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, similar to what hard drives offer as standard. However, if you need more space, you can always use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting option to obtain fast transfers.
As for the autonomy, count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use for this Ultrabook whose contained weight and finesse facilitate transport.
