Pros and Cons

Asus Vivobook 14

Strengths

The processor is quick on its feet and gives you a lot of bang for your buck in terms of storage.
It can handle things like multitasking, Chrome, Windows, Firefox, email, etc. without any issues.
If you're looking for a cheap laptop under 500 dollars, this one will get the job done.
The lightweight design makes it easy to toss into a backpack and use as a beater.

Weaknesses

The screen is not even an FHD display, but rather a 720p monitor that's not bright or vibrant enough.
The keyboard and trackpad are adequate, but the trackpad could have been made slightly larger for better usability.
The materials used in this laptop feel cheap and plasticky, which might be a concern for frequent travelers or students.
The battery life is disappointing, maxing out at 3-4 hours even with screen brightness turned down.

Asus ZenBook 13 UX334

Strengths

The laptop has a gorgeous display with minimal bezels, making it compact and beautiful to look at.
The keyboard is decent, with fine keystrokes and 1.4 mm key travel, although some may find it lacking in responsiveness.
The ScreenPad+ is a treat to use, offering a mobile-like experience, allowing you to launch apps, set custom shortcuts, and more.
The laptop features an eighth-generation Intel i7 chip, paired with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of PCIe SSD, making it a powerful device for light tasks.
Battery life is decent, with around 5 hours of use including web browsing, streaming, and two displays running simultaneously.
The compact charger takes just under two hours to fully juice the laptop, which is convenient.

Weaknesses

The touchpad on the ScreenPad+ can be laggy, making it difficult to register taps accurately.
The audio setup is not great, with flat sound, no bass, and hushed vocals, making it unsuitable for music or video playback.
The speakers are not loud enough, and the bottom-firing design doesn't enhance the sound quality.
The ScreenPad+ can be a mixed bag, offering some benefits but also drawbacks in terms of usability.
The previous generation UX333 offered better value for money, making it a more attractive option for some users.
Some may find the lack of significant upgrades from the previous generation disappointing, especially considering the price.

Asus Vivobook 14

The Asus VivoBook X1400e is a budget-friendly laptop that falls short in several areas. Despite its affordable price tag, the device disappoints with a subpar 720p display, lackluster features, and cheap plastic build quality. While it boasts an I3 processor, one terabyte NVMe SSD, and 16GB of RAM, these specs are somewhat wasted due to the underwhelming overall design. This laptop is best suited for basic tasks like word processing and web browsing, but its limitations make it less desirable in a crowded market.
