The Asus Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB521W once morest the competition
L’Asus Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB521W is currently available at Amazon and positions itself as one of the best processors in its class where it is also one of the thinnest and lightest and one of the most mobile while being one of the only ones to offer such a large amount of RAM.
Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB521W
Cooled by a fan associated with 2 heat pipes and air vents, this versatile laptop PC sports an elegant and discreet appearance with its thin and light light silver design.
The connectivity integrated into this mobile computer is good, including 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (more efficient and recent than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or even 3 USBs, the 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 USB 3.0 peripherals are plugged into it.
A backlight system is a priori fitted to the chiclet keyboard, which is practical for better distinguishing its keys when the light is limited.
With its 16/10th format, the screen is more comfortable in height than a classic 16/9th panel. In addition, both its vertical and horizontal viewing angles are important thanks to its IPS technology. The screen also lends itself very well to displaying High Definition content due to its Full HD definition, while its anti-reflective treatment makes it more readable than a glossy panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the Asus Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB521W
The Asus Vivobook 16X S1603QA-MB521W is a 16-inch laptop intended for general-purpose nomadic and multimedia-oriented use.
As it incorporates a good amount of 16 GB RAM, which is very useful for multitasking, as well as an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 5600H Cezanne Hexa Core processor, this versatile laptop PC delivers solid general performance capable of satisfying a maximum of users.
Creators wishing to carry out multimedia work such as photo editing or video editing will be particularly delighted to obtain faster processing thanks to this duo than with 8 GB DDR4 / 5 as well as a Quad Core.
On the other hand, even if it is possible to look at photos and videos but also to indulge in light games thanks to the Radeon Vega 7 graphics module housed within the Ryzen 5, the vast majority of players will pass their way since here no dedicated graphics card is on board.

Storage is entrusted to a silent SSD but also less energy than a hard drive, more robust and much faster.
As a result, the SSD guarantees much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis, which translates into much faster starts / stops, processing and application launches, or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.
As for autonomy, count on regarding 8 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer which is certainly not the most easily transportable which is by nature due to its 16-inch format but whose finesse and contained weight will be appreciated by some. In any case, a 16 inch is comfortable to use. But expect this versatile laptop to heat up and get loud when pushed hard (eg treatments).
And ventilated support can be used as needed to limit temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
