Cooled by IceCool technology via a fan (87 IceBlades blades), 2 heat pipes and ventilation grilles, this thin and light Ultrabook, which can be opened 180° completely flat, certified to the military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, has a stylish look. elegant and discreet.

Because it adopts a silver design with Asus Antimicrobial Guard Plus treatment which protects against 99% of viruses and bacteria.

In terms of connectivity, this multimedia-oriented laptop disappoints on the wireless side by making do with Wi-Fi 5 ac instead of the more recent and efficient Wi-Fi 6 ax, with Bluetooth 5 also being present, correct.
Its wired connectivity is average. There is indeed 1 USB-C, an HDMI video output useful if you want to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, an audio port as well as 3 USB including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.

We appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a shutter that you simply slide in front of when not using it, in order to preserve privacy.

The chiclet keyboard is of course equipped with a backlighting system that you simply activate when you need to better distinguish your keys.

The anti-reflective treated screen for good visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) compared to a glossy panel adopts a 16/10th format which displays more elements in height than the standard 16/9th.
The Full HD screen also benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its IPS technology. This is not high-end, the colorimetry here is average.

The Asus Vivobook 16 S1605VA-MB708W may be of interest to those who want a versatile 16-inch thin and light multimedia-oriented laptop with high processor performance.

This Ultrabook is in fact powered by an Intel Core i9-13900H Raptor Lake processor with 14 hybrid cores and an integrated Iris Xe graphics solution. As a bonus it is associated with 24 GB of RAM, a good amount above average which allows us to see things coming in this area.
Concretely, we obtain good general power which will delight demanding users.

Creative people in particular will appreciate obtaining, thanks to these components, processing carried out faster than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor and 16 GB DDR4/5.
Because it deploys its potential in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources and take advantage of multi-core, for example in photo editing or video editing.

On the other hand, as no dedicated graphics card is on board, this laptop PC does not offer graphics acceleration of processing. And will not appeal to gamers unless they are content to play light games thanks to the Iris Xe thanks to which you can also obviously watch photos and HD videos.

SSD storage, on the other hand, helps ensure rapid processing, just like starts/stops, application launches or arrival on online game cards.

More generally, the SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis because it is fast. An SSD is also quiet, energy efficient and robust, which is advantageous.

Finally, if its transport is facilitated by its finesse and its controlled weight, this elegant silver Ultrabook with its multimedia-oriented processor will not appeal to the most nomads since its autonomy is around 5 hours on battery in light use.
