Ultrabook Asus VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T Specs and Details

Specifications for the Asus VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T

The VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T takes many of the lines of its predecessor (VivoBook S532) but Asus makes some very sensitive adjustments to the box while retaining the very colorful aesthetic. The all-metal chassis always reveals a sharp and angular silhouette, a visible bias in particular at the level of the hinge ErgoLift which is refined. Now crossed on the majority of Asus PCs, this hinge has the particularity of tilting the base up to 3.5 degrees following the opening of the cover in order to optimize typing comfort while contributing to better circulation of the air below the chassis.

The keyboard takes advantage of a backlighting system (white) to highlight the silver keys in the dark and we see that Asus has added a yellow outline and lettering to the Enter key.

Measurements are another point on which Asus has revamped its VivoBook. If its weight (1.8 kg) and its format do not change, its thickness of 1.6 cm loses 2 mm.

For its part, the screen benefits from a Full HD definition (1920 x 1080 px) which provides a healthy display density for viewing High Definition content in the best conditions while the mat treatment of the screen barrier to reflections linked to use in high ambient light. A plus for comfort. However, no IPS panel on this model but a basic TN panel whose contrast and viewing angles are not the most comfortable.

On the sides of the chassis, the composition of the connectors is satisfactory even if two USB ports are still limited to the 2.0 standard. In addition, there is an HDMI output, a microSD card reader and two other USB ports including a USB 3.2 and a USB 3.2 Type-C . For wireless connectivity, there is no AX AX but the previous version Wifi AC and Bluetooth 4.1.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T

The Asus VivoBook S533IA-EJ039T contains an AMD Ryzen Renoir (2020) Ryzen 5 4500U Hexa Core processorlow consumption. It shows a significant increase in performance compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U (2019), thanks in particular to the number of cores which increases but also to the engraving used. Without going too far (the processor is recent), we can therefore say that we can obtain scores close to an Intel Core i7-1065G7 for comparison, with a little more gain on the creation programs exploiting the multi-architecture. hearts. In practice, this translates into full support for current use (web browsing, video playback, spreadsheet, etc.) with great ease on tasks that consume more resources such as video editing, export or occasional photo retouching. Opposite, the RAM provides 8 GB RAM, the minimum right now to enjoy comfortable multitasking.

Note for information that the Ryzen 5 4500U does not benefit from Hyper-Threading (6 cores, 6 threads), namely how it affects performance in practice.

The graphics part is entrusted to an AMD Radeon Vega 6 integrated into the CPU. Its capabilities are more than enough for everyday work and the tasks listed above and even allow some games from time to time on games that are not graphically demanding. Most will require making some concessions on screen definition and / or details.

For its part, the storage benefits from a 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD which will bring a welcome dose of responsiveness to the system. Compared to a standard mechanical hard drive, it is quieter, more robust and energy efficient and allows Windows to reach a remarkable level of fluidity with short loading times and execution without latencies. What is more, its capacity is not ridiculous and can accommodate a good part of your toy library even if some may not find it sufficient. SSD is considered to be the norm now at this price level.

Let’s finish with an idea of ​​the autonomy provided by this Vivobook S533IA. Its battery offers an average capacity (50 Whr), which should give it a little more than 7 hours of autonomy in web browsing with active Wifi.
