Asus VivoBook 14 Review (F1402ZA-AB31)
Source: Digit week
On a workday, if I was caught up on a day that I needed an inexpensive laptop to perform a few quick deeds, the Asus VivoBook 14 would most certainly carry me through. It has enough power to run basic tasks, and enough battery life to complete a college essay or office report away from a power source. But as this Asus VivoBook 15 review showed, performance is impressive, provided you keep your expectations at reasonable levels. And, it offers plenty of ports, so if the VivoBook 14 is the only choice you have within reach, an external monitor, a set of speakers, and a mouse will help with some of its quirks. But if you can swing it, at least consider spending a few hundred more on the Core-i5 version of the Asus VivoBook 14 (F1502ZA-DS52 model) for a little more power in the processor.

The Asus VivoBook 14 F1402ZA-AB31 is an affordable laptop that packs the latest hardware, a generous port selection, and a comfortable backlit keyboard but its screen isn’t overly colorful. However, those are easy to overlook when compared to the drawbacks of many other budget laptops on the market.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
