Review on ASUS Vivobook 14 Fingerprint Accessories by Stanislaw Was ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Very balanced inexpensive workhorse. The price is simply amazing - for this money nothing was even close, such laptops start at about 130 thousand. Probably, the whole point is the lack of a discrete graphics card, but with this processor it is not needed. Yes, this is not a gaming laptop, but all modern toys on it will run in medium (in extreme cases, low, but these should be completely monstrous games) settings with quite decent FPS. In general, it is more focused on working in the IT field - it is simply ideal for a programmer.

Pros
  • Gorgeous machine, the processor is just fire, 8 cores, 16 threads, the performance is far from mobile - a huge difference from the mobile Core i7 that I had on previous laptops. The difference in performance with the common Core i7 8550U is about 4 times (2 times faster performance per core and 2 times more cores). Quiet, compact, lightweight, very fast, a lot of expansion ports (2 regular USB, 2 Type-C, HDMI), the most for work, but you can also play. The built-in video card - my respect, drags Cyberpunk in medium settings with a frequency of 40-50 FPS. USB Type-C ports are full, you can connect an external monitor, power supply, etc. A comfortable keyboard, a very nice clear key travel, I liked the way the power button is made - it is recessed into the case, which prevents accidental pressing, and it has a good fingerprint scanner built into it to unlock it. The webcam closes with a mechanical shutter - for the paranoid, that's it. Good cooling system. The lid opens 180 degrees - you can not be afraid to accidentally break it. Autonomy is decent for such a powerful hardware - it does not set records, but you can safely work without an outlet.
Cons
  • The screen is not so hot, of course. There is a mistake in the description - there is no OLED there (I knew when buying, it's easy to check). You can work only if the work is not related to graphics, there are light spots on a dark background, and this is for all copies - we took 5 of these to the company, all the same. Another of the minuses is a very easily soiled case - that's right in general.
