Asus VivoBook E403SA Review
Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist of the Asus Ac Adapter
Asus' motto declares the company to be "In search of incredible," and it may have found its target with the $399 VivoBook E403SA. Not only does this 14-inch notebook offer an extremely light and premium design, but it also boasts fantastic battery life and a sharp, 1080p display. Asus' laptop does get a little warm on the bottom and compromises a bit on screen brightness, but this sub-$400s strong build quality, solid performance and wide array of features make it one of the best bargains in tech.
The Asus VivoBook E403SA with adapter like Asus N45 AC Adapter, Asus N55 AC Adapter, Asus N75 AC Adapter, Asus U56 AC Adapter, Asus EEE PC S101 AC Adapter, Asus EEE PC T101 AC Adapter, Asus Eee PC 700 AC Adapter, Asus N90 AC Adapter, Asus G71 AC Adapter, Asus F9F AC Adapter has a sleek, brushed-aluminum lid that looks like it belongs on a notebook that costs twice as much. The laptop's keyboard deck may look like it's made of the same material, but it's composed of a metal-looking plastic, which did a fine job of supporting my wrists. Two small tabs that protrude from the back of the hinge may look peculiar, but they stop the lid from scratching against flat surfaces.
The VivoBook E403SA packs enough performance under the hood for solid multitasking. Asus armed the only configuration of this notebook with an Intel Pentium N3700 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, but I saw no lag during my testing. When I split the screen between a streaming video and a dozen Chrome tabs -- including a Google Doc, Spotify and TweetDeck -- I jumped back and forth between tabs and typed segments of this review without encountering any stutter or delay.
If you carry the VivoBook E403SA around, you can likely leave your charger at home. Asus' laptop lasted a full 9 hours and 2 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi. The Asus F555L (5:44), Inspiron 14 3000 (6:33), Ideapad 300S (6:25) and Satellite Radius 14 (6:22) all died much more quickly.
Unlike a lot of 14-inch budget Windows 10 machines, the Asus VivoBook E403SA packs a full-HD (1920 x 1080) display, a premium lightweight chassis and a battery that lasts more than a full workday. The only strikes against this system are an underside that runs a little hot and speakers that require adjustment for the best sound.
If you want more performance in this price range, you're going to have to pay for it, as the Core i5-powered Ideapad 300S costs $131 more, and offers much less battery life. The 15.6-inch Asus F555LA gives you a bigger screen and costs $25 less, but it weighs a lot more, has some keyboard flex and offers less endurance. Overall, the VivoBook E403SA is one of the best laptop values on the market and a great choice for anyone who's on a budget.
