Top 10 ASUS laptops

Inexpensive laptop designed for office applications and multimedia, but no more. The processor and video card are not the most productive, Pentium Silver N5030 and integrated UHD Graphics 605, respectively. 4 GB DDR4 RAM included with no upgrade option. We do not recommend overloading the model, as it is not designed for heavy programs. I am glad that not a standard HDD is installed inside, but a faster and more responsive 128 GB SSD drive, which increases the speed of work and compensates for some of the shortcomings of the hardware. Naturally, at such a low price, the quality of materials suffers: the plastic is thin, but strong enough to withstand everyday use without drops and strong impacts.For its ridiculous money, the model is very good, but in the reviews, many users complain about the accuracy of the touchpad, very short battery life and the quality of the display picture.

This Asus gaming laptop model was released in 2022. It is based on the Intel i7-12700H processor, which has as many as 14 cores, however, 8 of them are energy efficient and are used only in simple tasks, but in games they plow 6. The discrete video card corresponds to the rank of a gaming gadget - the GeForce RTX 3060 is equipped with 6 GB of video memory. Complements the picture of RAM - 16 GB in two slots, and DDR5 memory with a frequency of 4800 MHz. Well, where without the highest quality display, ASUS used the best option for such a price tag: an IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 17.3 inches and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. A fly in the ointment will be the problem that is familiar to gaming models with the duration of work on a single battery charge and the official warranty limited to 12 months, which is very small for such a price tag.

Gaming novelty in 2022 with a large display (17.3 inches) and a very powerful filling. Here is an 8-core CPU, a video card on an RTX 3060 chip with 6 GB of video memory and 16 GB of RAM in two slots. Judging by the reviews, the model received the most reliable cooling system, capable of curbing all the agility of the hardware, but at the same time prone to loud work, which, however, is typical for any gaming laptop. Separately, the elaboration of the keyboard is pleasing - here are dedicated WASD, and RGB backlighting, and additional buttons for quickly adjusting the cooling power, volume, etc. Of course, you will have to endure bulkiness and heavy weight (almost 3 kg), plus constantly live close to the outlet, since the battery will not give long autonomy with such high performance.

A typical workhorse from ASUS: not a gaming hardware, but with good computing potential, integrated graphics, a good SSD drive and a high-quality display with a standard resolution of an IPS matrix. Separately, let's talk about RAM: 8 GB are in the base, there is a slot for an additional bar, but the upper limit is limited to 12 GB. Another drawback identified in customer reviews is a weak battery, which seriously reduces battery life. On the other hand, for a reasonable price, we get an OS in the kit, there is a fingerprint scanner for access protection, a large selection of ports and connectors, a card reader and a powerful Wi-Fi module. Even the backlighting of the keys is available, however, only white.

Lightweight and thin laptop from the ZenBook line from Asus. Relatively inexpensive, although due to modest hardware, some experts consider the price a little high, after all, this is not a gaming, but a working model with a small 14-inch display and integrated graphics. Of the good, we highlight the option of increasing the RAM from the base 16 GB to 32 GB. It is also worth noting the declared autonomy of the laptop, the manufacturer promises up to 12 hours of work without an outlet, and customer reviews indicate the possibility of working up to 15 hours on a single battery charge - this is one of the best results in the ranking. Of the shortcomings, the fragile design of the hinges of the top cover stands out, which is why backlash and poor fixation of the display are possible. In addition, there is a very meager set of connectors and ports.

Inexpensive office laptop for those who need an affordable workhorse. Everything here is modest, but with a very good balance, which allows us to talk about a high level of reliability in operation and good opportunities.The hardware is completely non-gaming, although there is a discreet, so movies in good quality and simple browser games will run without problems. However, the display can become an obstacle, because with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels you can still work with documents, but the entertainment content already looks somehow archaic. On the other hand, you can save money on buying an operating system, plus there is a wide selection of connectors for peripherals, an SSD drive, a card reader, and modern wireless interfaces.

Inexpensive ASUS gaming laptop with good upgrade prospects: there are spare slots for both RAM and SSD. However, the main thing here is the display, which was originally aimed at gaming - a 15.6-inch IPS-matrix with Adaptive-Sync function is updated at 144 Hz and has a color gamut of 63% sRGB, as well as 47% AdobeRGB. The keyboard received zonal RGB backlighting, the cooling system is equipped with a self-cleaning option, and the overall design of the device is made in the appropriate style.But at the same time, reviews say that the laptop tends to become very hot from time to time, plus you should not expect high autonomy - in game modes, especially with high graphics settings, you will need to have an outlet nearby.

Powerful 16" Asus laptop for graphics and video editing. Firstly, there is just a great display, as joyful buyers write about in the reviews. Still, the OLED matrix in 4K resolution produces amazing detail and excellent color reproduction. Secondly, hardware is not inferior: an 8-core CPU from AMD with a boost up to 4.4 GHz and a discrete graphics card based on the RTX 3050 chip in a laptop version (4 GB of video memory). There are complaints only about the RAM, which ASUS measured out 16 GB, although experts note the need for 32 GB. Moreover, it will not work to increase the volume, the RAM is soldered on the board, which is a “sore” of the entire updated Vivobook Pro series. And, of course, the manufacturer saved on the rejection of the pre-installed OS.

A very solid ASUS laptop, released in 2021. It is packed with productive hardware that will even run most games, although initially the laptop is not positioned as a gaming laptop, because it belongs to the Vivobook Pro line. The key feature is a very high-quality OLED display with a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels that fits on a 14-inch matrix with a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a DCI-P3 color gamut of 100%. The juiciness of the picture is confirmed by customer reviews, which also praise the Asus N7400PC-KM010 for the presence of a capacious SSD, a Thunderbolt 4 port, comfortable keyboard backlighting and the strength of the metal case. As a bonus, there is a built-in card reader and a webcam with a shutter. Among the minuses, we note the RAM soldered on the board, which excludes its upgrade or easy replacement in case of a breakdown.

Relatively inexpensive Asus office laptop based on AMD solutions. The model is made in a stylish case with an aluminum lid that opens 180 degrees. For comfortable work, there is a card reader, a comfortable full-size keyboard, a responsive touchpad and a large selection of connectors, including a LAN port. The display is made using a high-quality IPS-matrix, received a 45% NTSC color gamut and a good margin of brightness. The filling is exclusively “office”: 2-core AMD with integrated graphics, a fast SSD and 8 GB of soldered RAM, but there is one free slot for increasing the amount of RAM. In general, we get the most attractive option in terms of price/features ratio, taking into account the model segment. Of the shortcomings identified in the reviews, we highlight the weak signal of the Wi-Fi module and the lack of backlighting of the keys.
