Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i3
Memory: 4 GB of RAM
Storage: 128 GB SSD
Screen: 14 Inches
OS: Windows 10
Benefits:

  • As we mentioned above due to the slightly smaller 14 inch display this model very light and compact. It tips the scales at just 1.4 KG making it easy to carry around for extended periods of time
  • Cost is always a big factor when deciding on your next purchase and this is a category the Asus scores high marks on. Even those on a tight budget will be able to afford a new laptop such as this
  • The addition of an SSD drive helps improve overall performance due to its faster read and write times
  • Also includes Asus fast charge technology so you can quickly get charged back up and on the go

Downsides:

  • The Intel Core i3 processor is quite good for a low cost budget laptop but with only 4 GB of RAM that could potentially be a performance bottleneck for anybody who does more than the very basics
  • With very limited storage space of only 128 GB some users will have to use online storage or external drives to cover all their needs
  • This laptop does not include touchscreen technology which is a great nice to have feature on any new device

Verdict:
For anybody who does mostly basic day to day tasks with their laptop and looking to save some money by going with a budget model the Asus VivoBook X420UA-EK019T is a great all around choice.
