ASUS has launched a new laptop
dubbed VivoBook 14 (X420). The new laptop comes with a revolutionary design
which sees the laptop come in without a frame around the display. The laptop is
also very compact and lightweight, yet studded with a fine hardware setup.
The ASUS VivoBook 14 (X420) features a frameless
four-sided NanoEdge display with an 87% screen-to-body ratio for immersive
viewing. The ultra-thin bezels around the display are just 5.7mm wide on all
four sides. The incredibly slim bezel made it possible for the large screen to
fit into a smaller chassis. The laptop is also equipped with the innovative
ErgoLift hinge that tilts the keyboard to replicate the feel of a desktop
keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience.
The display panel comes with
FHD resolution which includes a wide-view technology and exceptional color
reproduction for lifelike visuals even when viewed from extreme positions. The
compact sized laptop measures just 322.4 x 210 x 17.7mm and is said to be the
lightest and most compact model in the current VivoBook 14 lineup. It weighs
just 1.4kg.
On the specs end, the VivoBook 14 is powered by an
8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor can be specified with up to a 512GB SSD.
It’s an everyday laptop that’s perfect for productive multitasking, multimedia
editing, or casual gaming. In addition, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi connections
provide speeds of up to 867Mbps — 6X-faster than 802.11n — for seamless
video-streaming and smoot’h web-surfing. The laptop also features Bluetooth
4.2, an optional fingerprint sensor built into the touchpad, a full-size
backlit keyboard that’s perfect for working in dim environments.
It has a sturdy one-piece construction and 1.3mm key
travel for comfortable typing. Other features include an array of ports
including USB Type-C, USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A, USB 2.0, HDMI output, and a microSD
