ASUS VivoBook 14 X415 review – it is affordable but is it worth it?
Source: Laptop Media
Although 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.
