Chassis, connectors, screen of Asus VivoBook R415JA-EK2040W

With its thin and light light silver design, it presents an elegant and discreet look.

It works with Windows 11S, a system that focuses on security by only allowing the installation of applications from the Windows Store. You can exit S mode for free to switch to classic Windows 11, but it is impossible to return to S mode.

In any case, the connection included in this Ultrabook is good, consisting of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless module for remote connections and communication, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection on this computer to a TV or a monitor for example, an audio port but there are also 2 USB (compatible USB 2.0 and USB 3.0), USB 3.0 which guarantees transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if plug in a USB 3.0 device.

As with any laptop in a format less than 15 inches, there is not enough space to the right of the keyboard to place a physical numeric keypad.
However, when you want to enter numbers easily, you can activate the NumberPad (NumPad) technology offered by Asus, which then transforms the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad.

Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a glossy panel. In addition, it is suitable for displaying High Definition content such as videos due to its accurate Full HD definition that is larger than the standard 1366×768 and its 16: 9 format.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus VivoBook R415JA-EK2040W

The Asus VivoBook R415JA-EK2040W is a responsive High Definition compact laptop designed for everyday use.

In this area as in surfing the Internet and office automation, it delivers excellent performance because it relies on a good amount of 8 GB RAM, which is very useful in multitasking, as well as a low -power Ice Lake Core i3-1005G1 processor.

The latter directly integrates the Intel UHD 620, a graphics solution thanks to which you can watch photos and videos but it will not attract gamers.

Note, however, that like AMD Ryzen 3 and less powerful processors, the Core i3-1005G1 shows its limitations under applications that require processor resources.

On the storage side, there is a quiet SSD but consumes less energy than a hard drive, more stable and faster.

As a result, an SSD guarantees better responsiveness and fluidity than a hard drive. Thanks to SSD, software start/stop and launch is faster.

With its 256 GB, the SSD included here can accommodate light and/or some files/software. This capacity corresponds to half of what standard hard drives offer.

However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C / USB 3.0 device is an interesting solution to benefit from fast transfers.

As for autonomy, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this Ultrabook that packs a weight, compactness and finesse that makes it easy to transport.
