Archive.org versionAlthough we don’t have to be too harsh on a laptop from this price range, we can’t help but be disappointed by some decisions made by ASUS. First, the upgradability seems okay, and even though the laptop supports 2.5-inch SATA drives, you would need to buy the accessories, needed to connect such devices separately. When it comes to the performance, we have to mention that our device came with 8GB of soldered memory. This means it ran at a single channel, which hindered the iGPU performance by quite a bit. However, it seems like the weird-looking cooling solution does a decent job in cooling this laptop’s processor. Although it doesn’t match more premium laptops, it manages to keep the frequency at or above the base clock speed, even under heavy workloads.

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.
