The Asus Vivobook of 14 packs in a ton of amazing surprises. Here are 7 interesting facts you might not have been aware of.
Asus’s standing in India
Asus has been scaling up its fan base in the laptops segment over the past few years. In May 2020, the brand reported that it had carved out 15% market share during the first quarter of the year. Asus also witnessed a 40 percent jump in sales figures during Q1 2020, as compared to the previous quarter.
The escalation in sales is especially commendable, considering the fact that the overall Indian laptop market was down by over 26% during that period. Now Asus has plans to add 1,000 retail outlets, a clear indicator that they are confident about sustaining demand and popularity in the Indian market. Asus stands as the fifth most popular laptop brand in India by way of sales figures, even as its market share stands at 7.5% at the end of September 2020.
Asus is extremely confident about the growing demand for its gaming laptops, and its ultra slim laptops. Let’s have a look at one of the biggest stars of the Asus laptops lineup — the Asus Vivobook 14.
1.Record-breaking lightweight
The Asus Vivobook 14 is being marketed as the world’s smallest laptop. It weighs an amazingly convenient 1.5 kgs and measures 14 inches, or 35.56 centimetres. For users looking for a laptop that they can carry around with ease and convenience, this laptop might just be their wish come true.
2.Super high screen-to-body ratio
Especially in the mid-range and premium laptop segments, buyers do not want to have to compromise. A small and lightweight laptop is still required to deliver a sufficiently enjoyable viewing experience, as there is no space to be wasted. The Asus Vivobook 14 offers an 87% screen-to-body ratio.
3.A lot can happen in 49 minutes
We live in a fast-paced world, and even more so amidst the work-from-home culture. While most users are less demanding of laptop batteries than they are of phone batteries, the fact that we are now working from anywhere, rather than from a designated desk, might be choosing an uncomfortable spot if one’s laptop needs frequent charging. The Asus Vivobook 14 charges up to 60% in 49 minutes. Asus also promises a three times longer battery span. The laptop uses a 2 -Cell 37Wh battery.
4.More comfortable typing
According to Asus, the keyboard has been constructed at the perfect angle to give you the most comfortable typing experience you can imagine.
5.Dual storage
The promise of the ‘best of both worlds’ is being proposed by the brand in the Asus Vivobook 14’s dual storage feature. The laptop packs in both HDD storage as well as SSD storage, bringing “SSD-levels of performance and the large storage capacity of a traditional hard drive”, according to Asus. The laptop comes with an onboard 512GB PCIe® Gen3 x2 SSD M.2 storage, and a 5400 RPM SATA hard drive expandable up to 1TB.
6.All round speed
An Intel i5 processor guarantees high performance. Additionally, this 8GB RAM laptop assures users of smooth and efficient multitasking, as these are the direct benefits of sizable RAM.
7.Countless little delights
From a display that holds good at any angle, to a fingerprint sensor, extra fast transfer speeds on its USB 2.0 connection, a reversible USB type C charging port, a microSD card reader, an HD webcam and three colour options, there are a whole lot of little surprises packed into this little laptop. There are also multiple variations of the laptop, one of which comes with a GPU. There is also a lower RAM version if cost is a deterrent, but higher RAM is always a wise choice. Additionally, you can also choose a version without the dual storage feature, although typically most users might not want to forgo a tech spec like that.
The Asus Vivobook 14, with all the features that we have delighted in above, is retailing for anywhere between Rs. 38,000 and Rs. 55,000. This does seem like a value-for-money price, given the fact that it is an 8GB RAM laptop offering a buffet of other amazing technical specifications. Worth breaking the bank for? Maybe, but you might not need to break the bank because on the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store, you can get amazing offers and discounts. Moreover, you can use your Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card to pay for products at No Cost EMIs.
