The Asus VivoBook S410 has a gorgeous metallic design in two fancy hues. Beyond its beauty, it’s also considered rugged, or strong enough to withstand a 20,000-cycle open-and-close hinge test, as well as high-altitude testing. This means it could withstand the altitude of up to 10,000 feet up, for an entire day. On top of these simulated tests, the new VivoBook S410 features a keyboard that is held in high regard, hitting a 10-million keystroke test. Whether or not those things are of interest to you as a consumer, remember it’s quite a newer concept for an ultrathin notebook, described as on-the-go, to sport serious hardware functionality and strength.
The 14-inch screen features a super-slim bezel, also known as NanoEdge display, which fits inside its true 13-inch chassis. All is packed into a 0.7-inch profile, and a total weight of 2.9 pounds. The advanced display, by the way, features FHD, anti-glare IPS LCD screen, also sporting Asus Splendid, and Tru2Life Video tech. Users will have fun with this, as it brings the opportunity for optimal viewing angles, a Vivid mode to enhance photos and other media, as well as Eye Care mode, to ease that blue light emission strain on the eyes.
A couple more things, connectivity is nothing new, but luckily nothing truly missing. Included, are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2 USB 2.0s, 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB Type-C, an HDMI port, as well as both SD and SDXC memory on a 2-in-1 card reader. As far as OS, Windows 10 Home and Windows Hello are both supported, meaning a no-hassle log-in to save on time. Don’t worry about battery life either, the VivoBook S14 packs a 3-cell, lithium polymer battery for a solid 8 hours on one charge. First launched in India, all three iterations of the VivoBook S14 S410UA are already available on FlipKart, starting at $863.99 and up. Expected availability in the U.S. should begin next month.
