Robust due to its compliance with the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, this laptop PC adopts a discreet appearance with its compact, thin and lightweight Mixed Black design.

The connectivity integrated into this laptop is good and has nothing to be ashamed of compared to more expensive models since it consists of Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, an audio port, an HDMI video output thanks to which it can easily be connected to a monitor or projector in particular but also 3 USBs including 1 USB-C useful for connecting peripherals such as a mouse, a headset, external storage or a printer).

Thanks to the privacy shutter that accompanies the webcam, you can hide it behind a physical cover that slides in front when you are not using it, which is reassuring for respect for privacy.

As with any model whose format is less than 15 inches, no physical numeric keypad is present on the right of the keyboard due to insufficient space to accommodate it.
However, here Asus seems to offer its NumberPad technology: once activated, it converts the touchpad into a very practical NumPad touch pad for entering numbers more easily. A good point for this configuration if the presence of this device is confirmed.

The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos thanks to its 16:9 format, benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.
Here of course, no high-end IPS given the positioning of this laptop PC and you have to be content with average colorimetry.
In any case, the anti-reflective coating of the screen gives it greater visibility in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than glossy ones.

And if you need more space, connecting an external storage device is a simple and effective option, especially if you opt for a USB 3.0/USB-C solution ensuring faster transfers than a USB 2.0 module.

In any case, the SSD therefore very well supports the heart of this computer powered by a low-consumption AMD Ryzen 5 7200U processor. Mendocino which houses 4 cores as well as the Radeon 610M graphics part, supported by a good amount of 16 GB RAM which is very appreciable for multitasking.
