Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus Vivobook 16X N3604VA-MB190W
Coated with Asus Antimicrobial Guard treatment protecting against 99% of bacteria, this versatile laptop opens 180° completely flat and can be recharged to 60% in 49 minutes and certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H adopts a thin and lightweight Indie Black design with a discreet metal shell.
This Ultrabook integrates correct connectivity including USB-C, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a monitor or a TV for example, Wi-Fi 5 ac and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules for connections and communications to wireless distance, an audio port but also 3 USB including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
It’s a shame, however, not to find more recent and efficient 6-axis Wi-Fi.
In any case, some people will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a physical cover when not using it.
In case of low ambient light, you can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard to better distinguish its keys.
The screen stands out with its 16:10 format which displays more information in height than the classic 16:9 format.
Its Full HD definition is expected, as is its glossy treatment, which is more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a shiny panel. On the other hand, we regret not having to deal with an IPS panel, a technology which would have provided significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles, or even more faithful colorimetry than the average for high-end IPS. Here the colorimetry is standard.
Performance, battery life of the Asus Vivobook 16X N3604VA-MB190W
The Asus Vivobook 16X N3604VA-MB190W may be of interest to those who wish to acquire a thin and light laptop PC with a comfortable format for everyday multi-purpose use.
The large capacity of 1000 GB of SSD storage represents the major advantage of this configuration thanks to which we can accommodate multiple files and software, which will satisfy demanding users in this area.
In this regard, let us recall the advantages provided by an SSD compared to a hard drive: greater shock resistance, reduced energy consumption, silence and greater speed.
Responsiveness and fluidity are therefore much better on a daily basis with an SSD than with a hard drive.
The SSD guarantees, for example, faster starts/stops, processing and launches of applications or even faster arrival on online game cards.
The SSD therefore supports the heart of this computer very well, which delivers very good performance in everyday use, for viewing photos and videos or even for playing modest games.
Because it is driven by a low-consumption Core i7-1355U Intel Raptor Lake processor with 10 hybrid cores in which the Iris Xe graphics solution takes place, aided by 16 GB of RAM.

Thanks to this versatile laptop PC, you can also carry out light multimedia processing taking advantage of multi-cores and RAM, for example photo editing or video conversion.
However, we benefit from opting for a PC equipped with a non-low consumption processor and/or an adequate dedicated graphics card if we aim to often carry out multimedia work that requires processor and/or graphics resources.
Finally, regarding the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose contained weight and thinness make it easy to transport despite its comfortable format, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
