Chassis, connectors, screen of Asus S515JA-BQ3530W

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

The connectivity included in this laptop is good, consisting of 1 USB-C, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless modules for remote connection and communication , an audio port or 2 USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 compatible USB, USB 3.0 guarantees transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if the plug is in a USB 3.0 device.

Lovers of videos and wider High Definition content will be pleased that the screen uses a 16:9 format that comes with a precise Full HD definition above the usual 1366×768 at this price level. In addition, its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, are important thanks to its IPS technology, however not high-end because of this the colorimetry is logically average regarding the positioning of this PC. In any case, thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable than a glossy panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, autonomy of the Asus S515JA-BQ3530W

The Asus S515JA-BQ3530W is a responsive thin and light High Definition laptop designed for everyday use.

It delivers great performance in daily use, such as office automation and Internet surfing, as it is based on a low-power Intel Ice Lake Core i3-1005G1 processor associated with 8 GB of RAM which is very useful in multitasking.

True, this Core i3 shows its limits under processor-intensive software, such as AMD Ryzen 3 and of course less powerful processors.
It still allows you to view photos and videos thanks to the Intel UHD 620 graphics module it integrates, while there is no dedicated graphics card.

On the storage side, we found an SSD to significantly improve responsiveness and fluidity on a day-to-day basis compared to a simple hard drive.
So thanks to the SSD, starting / stopping and launching applications is noticeably faster.

Because SSD is faster than a hard drive. It also offers other advantages such as lower energy consumption, quiet operation and greater durability.

With its 256 GB, the SSD offers half the capacity of standard hard drives, enough to accommodate light and/or some files/software.

But of course if we need more space, we can use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C / USB 3.0 device represents an interesting solution for obtaining fast transfers.

As for autonomy, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this Ultrabook whose weight and efficiency make it easy to transport.
