If you’re interested in the exact numbers, they are below:
Asus claims it can go for up to 8 hours on a charge, but in practice I averaged between 3 and a half and 6 hours of use with various everyday scenarios. Battery lifeĪs for the battery life, well, there’s a 44 Wh battery inside this laptop, the non-removable kind. The microphone picks up voices alright too.

The 720p webcam on top of the screen works fine as long as there’s proper light around, otherwise the images tend to get very grainy. The Asus S400CA Vivobook has no deal-breaking issues Just don’t forget this is an ULV platform, so don’t ask too much from it. Of course, when dealing with more complex programs, like video editors, or when multitasking between many opened apps, the platform will choke, but the Core i5 option will be able to deal with most of these tasks as well.
Despite the lower power processor, the S400 coped well with my daily requirements, like watching movies, listening to music, browsing, editing texts and photos, chatting with my friends. In stores, I found the S400 mostly paired with an Intel Core i5 processor, so expect that config to be faster than the one tested here.Īnyway, with everyday use, this laptop is going to be fairly snappy.

The notebook boots fast, in around 15 seconds or so, despite the fact that the unit we’re testing here is the cheapest configuration, with an Intel Core i3-3217U processor, 6 GB of RAM, hybrid storage and of course, Windows 8 Home Premium. With that out of the way, let’s go ahead and power on the device. Plus, on this test unit, the entire body squeaked and cranked very annoyingly when using the keys on the middle-right part of the keyboard, but that might be an issue associated only with this particular review unit, as I haven’t heard others complain about it.īut the panel used for this screen is rather mediocre Hardware and performances The keys do travel a bit too deep inside the frame for my liking, but that’s not going to be a massive issue. Typing on it is going to be an overall pleasant experience, especially once you get used to the layout, that adds an extra row of keys on the right side of the keyboard. The keyboard itself is fairly good, with proper sized and spaced keys. The shell is pierced by some status LEDs on the lower-right edge and by a Power button in the Top-Right corner. The palm-rest is wide and the entire design is simple and classy, with a black keyboard in the middle, that creates an appealing contrast with the light-silver finishing of the body. Lifting the lid, you’ll find a metallic interior. Plus, the S400 does pack a 14 inch display which most of you will find more appropriate for daily tasks than the smaller 13, 12 or 11 inch screens you can get on ultra-portables these days. But next to a regular laptop, it is, as it measures around 340 x 240 x 20 mm and weighs about 1.83 kilos, which is close to 4 pounds.

When compared to the existing ultrabooks, it’s not very portable or compact. Right out of the box, you’ll notice that this S400 is a slim and fairly light laptop that should meet most of your requirements.
