Who said affordable laptops were boring? The ASUS E410 might be affordable, but it’s far from boring, thanks to its feature set that makes IdeaPads and Aspires to look a bit bland. Yeah, it comes with sacrifices, offering only Celeron and Pentium CPUs, but for the price that it’s charging, you really can’t be asking for more. The laptop is as stylish as a Vivobook and can get around web browsing and taking notes in class, which is perfect for a student that doesn’t want to break the bank. It’s also small and light enough to be carried around without you even noticing it being there.
Today we’re presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the ASUS E410.
ASUS E410: Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the ASUS E410
1. Design and build quality
Understandably, the laptop has a plastic chassis that comes in 4 colors in total. There’s Black, Blue, Silver, Pink, and Gold, all of which look very fine. More importantly, it’s very portable, weighing just 1.30 kg and having a profile of 18.4 mm. The build quality isn’t the best, with flex from both the lid and the base, which is somewhat expected at this price point. Still, we believe that there should be some support on the inside.
2. Input devices
While the lid doesn’t open with one hand, the keyboard, and NumberPad are decent. The keyboard has a white backlight, while the key travel is averagely long and the feedback is somewhat clicky, however, it’s not very even. The touchpad is the star of the show, as its surface is smooth, while the NumberPad functionality is working just as well as it does on Vivobooks and Zenbooks. However, the symbols on the pad are printed, rather than backlit.
3. Battery life
The 42Wh battery pack of the ASUS E410 lasts for 7 hours and 20 minutes of Web browsing, or 5 hours and 55 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.
2 reasons NOT to buy the ASUS E410
1. Display quality
The laptop is offered with three display options: two TN displays, with either an HD or a Full HD resolution. Then we have an IPS panel with a Full HD resolution. We tested the Full HD TN display, which has a peak brightness of 251 nits, as well as poor viewing angles, and a very low contrast ratio of 260:1. It also covers only 53% of the sRGB color gamut.
The color accuracy is all over the place, with a dE value of 7.7 with the stock settings, which goes down to 4.2 when we apply our Design and Gaming profile. It’s still far away from being suitable for professional work.
Buy our profiles
Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for ASUS E410 configurations with 14.0″ BOE NT140FHM-N44 (BOE07F6) (1920 x 1080) TN.

In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
