Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ZenBook 14 UM3402YA-KP757W
This laptop PC has a discreet, elegant appearance with its slim and lightweight Jade Black compact design certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H.
The connectivity integrated into this laptop is good, consisting of 2 USB-C, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a monitor or TV for example, Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth wireless modules. 5.3 for connections and communications, an audio port or even 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device to it.
As a fingerprint reader is inserted into the power button, biometric authentication is possible via Windows Hello technology.
We appreciate that the chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution that you simply activate whenever you need to better discern your keys.
No physical numeric keypad is present on the right of the keyboard due to lack of space, as under any model smaller than 15 inches.
However, Asus has the good idea to offer its NumberPad (NumPad) technology here. When you need to easily enter numbers, activating it brings up a tactile numeric keypad on the touchpad.
The screen represents the major advantage of this configuration because it benefits from 2.5K High Definition superior to Full HD, associated with a 16/10th format higher than the classic 16/9th to display more information.
As a bonus, the screen offers sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles due to its IPS technology.
Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the Asus ZenBook 14 UM3402YA-KP757W
The Asus ZenBook 14 UM3402YA-KP757W is an elegant compact High Definition laptop designed for everyday versatile use on the go.
As its autonomy is around 9 hours on battery in light use, it may be of interest to some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop.
Especially since it is compact, thin and light, which makes it as easy to carry as an Ultrabook.
This laptop is perfectly suitable for everyday use, such as office work and surfing the Internet or for viewing photos and videos.
Because it is driven by an AMD processor Barcelo Refresh Hexa Core Ryzen 5 7430U in which the Radeon Vega 7 graphics module takes place, supported by 16 GB of RAM.
With this duo we can even consider light multimedia processing using multicore and RAM, such as light photo editing or video conversions.
SSD storage supports this core well by significantly improving responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.
So starts/stops are quick, as are application launches in particular.
Remember that an SSD offers high speed, in addition to silent operation, a robust design and low energy consumption.
Asus offers here a classic storage solution, namely a 512 GB SSD, which is also found in (much) more expensive models.
However, if additional space is needed, an external storage module can be used. To benefit from fast transfers, we will favor a USB 3.0/USB-C device.
