Chassis, connectors, screen of Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED S3400QA-KM038W

Cooled by IceCool Plus technology using 2 fans, heat pipes and air vents, this versatile laptop with preset operating profiles sports a thin and light Quiet Blue design that is original, elegant and discreet.

It is equipped with good connectivity consisting of 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and better than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or even 3 USB including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device.

We appreciate the ability to hide the webcam behind a cover to maintain privacy.

It is obviously possible to backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard, making them easier to distinguish when the ambient light is limited.

Like any laptop with a format less than 15 inches, it lacks space on the right to place a numeric keypad.
However, to make it easier to enter numbers, Asus had the good idea to offer it its NumPad technology (NumberPad) thanks to which you can convert the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad when you need it.

The screen is an obvious asset. Stunning, it displays colors that are more faithful than usual with very deep blacks, very low latency but significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its OLED DCI-P3 specifications. In addition, the screen uses a 16/10th format that is more comfortable in height than the standard 16/9th as well as a frequency of 90Hz that improves fluidity.
In addition to High Fidelity lovers, those who appreciate High Definition content will find the screen interesting because it uses 2.8K definition which is higher than Full HD.
OLED involves a brilliant treatment that brings colors to life but is sensitive to reflections in a bright environment.
In any case, the blue light emitted by the screen is reduced by EyeCare technology to soothe the eyes.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED S3400QA-KM038W

The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED S3400QA-KM038W targets those who want to get a thin and light High Definition compact laptop that is both powerful in terms of processor and portable.

Nomads will be delighted that this PC can be easily transported thanks to its lightness, compactness and finesse, especially since its autonomy of around 8 hours on the battery in light use allows it to be used wirelessly for several hours at a time.

However, this versatile laptop PC delivers overall power capable of satisfying demanding users.
Because it is built around 16 GB of RAM and an AMD Cezanne APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Octo Core Ryzen 7 5800H processor.

This core significantly guarantees faster processing than 8 GB DDR4 as well as a Quad/Hexa Core processor, the difference is particularly noticeable in areas that require RAM and CPU resources that take advantage of multicores, such as photo editing or video editing.

It’s enough to attract creators but not gamers as it doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card on board.

However, you can watch photos and videos as well as play light titles with this thin and light blue laptop. And this is thanks to the Radeon Vega 8 graphics module integrated into the Ryzen 7 Octo Core Cezanne as long as you agree to the settings under the intensive graphics titles to get good playability.
It should be noted in this regard that the 2.8K screen definition requires more graphic calculations than Full HD, resulting in a lower number of fps.

Storage is entrusted to a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives.
Compared to the latter, however, an SSD is quieter, more stable, uses less energy and is faster.

In practice, an SSD ensures better fluidity and response to use than a simple hard drive. Thanks to the SSD, we get faster start / stop, for example, as well as the processing and launch of applications, and we come to the cards of online games faster.

Of course, if 512 GB is too tight, you can use an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C / USB 3.0 device represents an interesting solution to take advantage of fast transfers.

Finally, in the event of extreme stress (eg: treatments), expect this versatile, high-performance laptop to hear and heat up.

If necessary, a ventilated support can be used to limit temperatures (remember to check the measurements carefully!).
