72% Asus Vivobook 14 X403 Review
Source: Think Digit Archive.org version
The Asus VivoBook 14 X403 is a finely engineered product with many special qualities. The comfortably compact fourteen-incher delivers a remarkably long battery life, which makes it ideal for users whose work forces them to be away from the wall socket for many hours at a stretch. It also delivers top-notch performance for users hoping to edit long documents, work on spreadsheets, browse heavily, and watch videos online. That said, it's no good for anyone wanting to play video games on it.

80% Asus Vivobook 14 X403 review: A Windows device that is thin and powerful
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
At a price of Rs 54,990, the Asus Vivobook 14 X403 is now one of the more portable laptops you can buy. And here portable does not mean you are compromising on either power or efficiency and that could make this one a winner.

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.
