Chassis, connectivity, screen of the Asus VivoBook S 14 Flip TN3402YA-LZ348W
It adopts an elegant and discreet appearance with its compact design, thin and light, robust silver aluminum due to its compliance with the American military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H. But also original since it can open 360° to convert into a Tablet.
The screen is in fact equipped with multi-touch touch technology: by applying at least one finger to it, using pressure/gestures, you can interact with the system and software.
Tactile involves a shiny coating which revives the colors but is subject to reflections in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
The screen also benefits from significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology. Since this is not high-end, the colorimetry here is classic.
In any case, the Full HD screen also stands out with its 16/10 format, displaying more information on the height than the 16/9 standard.
In cases where it is difficult to distinguish the keys, for example in the dark, you can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.
This one does not have a physical numeric keypad on its right due to lack of space, like any model whose format is less than 15 inches.
But good news: Asus offers its NumberPad technology here. Once activated, NumPad transforms the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad.
This 2-in-1 laptop PC integrates good connectivity with its 2 USB-C ports, its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a monitor or TV for example, its Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for connections and communications, its audio port but also its 2 USBs including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when a USB 3.0 device is connected to it.

As a bonus, you can install and store multiple software and files on this 2-in-1 laptop. Because it benefits from SSD storage with a large capacity of 1000 GB.
The SSD therefore competes in terms of capacity with hard drives compared to which it offers several advantages such as greater shock resistance, lower energy consumption, silent operation and even greater speed.
In daily use, responsiveness and fluidity are much better with an SSD than with a hard drive.
Starting/stopping, launching applications and carrying out processing is in practice faster with an SSD in particular.
This 2-in-1 laptop also delivers good performance in everyday use, such as office work and surfing the Internet or viewing HD photos and videos.
Because it is powered by a low-power AMD Ryzen 5 7430U Hexa Core Barcelo Refresh processor in which the Radeon Vega 7 graphics solution is placed, which is not designed for gamers.
