ASUS Vivobook 14
ASUS’ new Vivobook 14 (X1407CA) is a lightweight, AI-powered laptop with brilliant innards, like an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16Gb/512Gb RAM/ROM, a 14” WUXGA IPS ultra-sharp screen, and Windows 11 onboard. The Vivobook 14 is also built with military-grade toughness and advanced security built in.
On usage I found the device lightweight, easy to carry and operate, with a fantastic battery life (10-12 hrs mixed usage). The 16:10 display is also wider, offering more space, while a full suite of I/O ports lets me connect multiple devices (HDMI, 2x USB-A,C and 3.5mm) as well as BT 5.2 and wifi 6. To top it all, an in-built Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 13) lets you work with AI activities seamlessly. in.store.asus.com
