Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus Vivobook 16X FX3605ZV-RP244W
Rechargeable to 50% in 30 minutes, this versatile portable computer is robust due to its compliance with the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, which can be opened 180° completely flat and adopts a discreet gamer appearance with its thin and light black aluminum design.
It is cooled by IceCool technology using 3 heat pipes, 1 fan (87 blades) and air vents.
This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicate and connect remotely, an audio port as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers are carried out up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
As a fingerprint reader is present, you can authenticate biometrically using the Windows Hello functionality.
Those most concerned about their privacy will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a physical cover when they are not using it.
The chiclet keyboard of course has a backlighting solution that you simply activate whenever you need to better distinguish your keys.
Players will appreciate the screen's 144Hz frequency because it provides much better fluidity in everyday life, including in games, compared to the 60Hz standard.
Full HD, the screen benefits from significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology as well as more faithful than average sRGB colorimetry.

Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook 16X FX3605ZV-RP244W
The Asus Vivobook 16X FX3605ZV-RP244W may be of interest to those who wish to equip themselves with a thin and light nomadic laptop PC that performs well in multimedia, gaming and creation.
Some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop multimedia suitable for gaming and creation will appreciate that this Ultrabook is able to last around 7 hours on battery in light use. Especially since its finesse and controlled weight make it easier to transport.
Such autonomy is notably possible thanks to NVIDIA Optimus technology. Whenever possible, it favors operation on the Intel Iris Xe graphics module housed in the processor. And this while its performance is significantly lower because it consumes little energy, which promotes autonomy.
Optimus actually determines in real time the level of graphics resources necessary for the successful completion of the tasks carried out by the user. When the Iris Xe proves insufficient, Optimus automatically activates the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card.
More demanding and powerful than the Iris
In addition to gamers, the GeForce RTX 4060 will be of interest to creators since it provides graphics acceleration of processing under software using GPU computing power, such as Vegas, the Adobe suite or VSDC.
The Iris
We thus obtain good overall power capable of satisfying demanding users.
The GeForce RTX 4060 is very well supported in games by this heart which will delight creative people. Because in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core, it provides much faster processing than a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5. This is for example the case in video editing, photo editing or 3D rendering.
The storage is up to par since it is entrusted to an SSD with a large capacity of 1000 GB capable of housing quantities of software, games and files including a personal creation for example.
On a daily basis, the SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity which is manifested in particular by rapid launches of games/software as well as processing and starts/shutdowns. The SSD also ensures that you can quickly access online game maps.
As for heating and noise, expect them to be present in the event of heavy use (e.g. games, processing) of this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC to which you can couple a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
