Image 1: Asus: a Vivobook S to compete with the Macbook?

Asus intends to compete with the MacBook Air with its new mid-range laptop, Vivobook S510. The design of the two devices has some similarities, but the configurations are not the same.

The Vivobook S510 displays on a Full HD screen (1920 x 1280 pixels) of 15 inch, with anti-reflective treatment. Running on Windows 10 Home, it is equipped with a processor Intel Core i7-7500U or i7-7200U depending on the models. If the RAM is 8 GB, the hard drive has a capacity of more than 1 TB. In addition to Intel HD 620, the Vivobook has NVIDIA Pascal GeForce 940MX dedicated graphics card associated with Optimus technology. The latter makes it possible to switch between the two solutions in order to optimize energy consumption.

For connectors, we find one USB-C, USB 2.0, USB Type-A, HDMI port as well as a headphone jack. The set weighs less than two kilograms and is quite suitable for transport. The Vivobook S510 is available on the Asus online store at a price ranging from 616 € to 699 € according to the configurations. It can also be found on ABT, B & H, Computer Upgrade King and Newegg.
