Chassis, connectivity, screen of the Asus VivoBook S 14 Flip TN3402YA-DRLZ419W
Open 360° to convert into a tablet, this laptop adopts a sober and elegant look with its compact, thin and light silver design certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H.
With multi-touch technology, the computer can be controlled by simple gestures/pressures of at least one finger applied to it.:
As it is tactile, the screen is glossy which gives punch to the colors but is sensitive to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
The Full HD screen, whose 16/10 format displays more elements in height than the classic 16/9, benefits from significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles due to its IPS technology. However, since we are not dealing with high-end IPS, the colorimetry here is average.
Many people will appreciate being able to backlight the chiclet keyboard keys when they need to be more clearly distinguished.
When you need to enter numbers, you can activate the NumberPad technology. Then the touchpad turns into a touch-sensitive numeric keypad.
This is a nice feature as, like all models smaller than 15 inches, it doesn't have the space to accommodate a physical numeric keypad on the right.
In terms of connectivity, this 2-in-1 laptop is well equipped with its 2 USB-C, its Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for connections and communications, its audio port, its HDMI video output useful for easily connecting it to a monitor or TV for example, or its 2 USBs including 1 USB 3.0 (compatible with USB 2.0) ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device.
Performance, battery life of the Asus VivoBook S 14 Flip TN3402YA-DRLZ419W
The Asus VivoBook S 14 Flip TN3402YA-DRLZ419W is an elegant compact laptop convertible into a tablet intended for everyday nomadic use and offering a large storage capacity.
As easy to carry as an Ultrabook because it is compact, thin and light, it is able to last around 8 hours on battery with light use in terms of autonomy.
Some in search of a Student laptop may therefore be interested.
To ensure such autonomy, this 2-in-1 laptop relies on energy-efficient components. This is the case of energy-efficient SSD storage while being shock-resistant, silent and fast.
In everyday use, the SSD clearly improves responsiveness and fluidity, resulting in fast startups/shutdowns and application launches.
As a bonus, the SSD here offers a capacity of 1000 GB, twice as high as the average, which is very useful for installing and storing multiple software and files.
The SSD is a great companion to the heart of this hybrid laptop, which is made up of 16 GB of RAM and an energy-efficient processor, the AMD Barcelo Refresh low-power Ryzen 5 7430U Hexa Core which houses the Radeon Vega 7 graphics module.
This provides good performance in everyday use, such as office work and Internet surfing, or even viewing photos and videos.
Light multimedia processing taking advantage of RAM and multi-core can be done on this hybrid laptop, such as small photo edits and video conversions.
