Reviews for the Asus VivoBook X405UQ

ASUS VivoBook X405UQ Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
If only ASUS gave the consumers the configuration of our test unit, then it would’ve been a steal for the price, though it would’ve also been too good to be true. In any case, the X405UQ performs quite well, has good video editing capabilities, high base RAM capacity, more than enough battery life for light tasks, a responsive trackpad, and an above average keyboard. It’s downsides though, such as its subpar audio, entry-level gaming capabilities, simple design, and non-backlit keyboard, might be deal breakers to some.

NVIDIA GeForce MX150: Pascal GP108 based laptop graphics card and mobile version of the desktop GeForce GT 1030. Offers 384 shader cores and usually 2 GB GDDR5 with a 64 Bit memory bus. Manufactured in 14nm.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.
