3 reasons to BUY the ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TM420
1. The Upgradeability
Starting off with something important, the upgradability of the device is quite satisfying. Once you remove the 10 Phillips-head screws and pop the bottom panel, you are presented with either 4GB or 8GB of soldered RAM, which is further expandable with the single available SODIMM RAM slot. As for the storage, here things are quite less complicated. There is a single M.2 PCIe x4 drive that is already occupied though, so you’d have to remove it to install a bigger SSD.
2. The Performance
This laptop can be purchased only with AMD CPUs and they bring adequate performance, depending on which CPU you go for. The device comes with either the Ryzen 3 4300U, Ryzen 5 4500U, or the Ryzen 7 4700U, which our unit had. As for graphics, you get the integrated solutions, which are respectively the Radeon RX Vega 5, Radeon RX Vega 6, and the Radeon RX Vega 7.
Below is a comparison between the VivoBook and one of its strongest competitors, the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5.
Les résultats proviennent du test CPU Cinebench 20 (un score plus élevé est meilleur)
Les résultats proviennent de 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Un score plus élevé est meilleur.
Les résultats proviennent du benchmark 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) (un score plus élevé est meilleur)
Les résultats proviennent du benchmark Unigine Superposition (un score plus élevé est meilleur)
3. The Features
The touchscreen display supports a stylus pen, there is an optional fingerprint reader, and the device supports Wi-Fi 6. There is an optional carrying sleeve, which is a nice touch. The 360-degree hinge makes the device a 2-in-1, which when paired with the aforementioned stylus support would have made the device a great one for designers and creators if it wasn’t for the display, which we will talk about below.
2 reasons NOT to buy the ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TM420
1. The Battery life
For the bad news, we will start with the battery life. The device’s relatively small 42Wh unit managed to squeeze out nearly 10 hours of Web browsing and 6 hours and 17 minutes of video playback. While we are satisfied with the Web browsing score, we feel like the screen on time in the video playback test is too little.
2. The Display
Continuing on with the display, the Full HD IPS touchscreen panel has comfortable viewing angles, a good contrast ratio, and its backlight is PWM-free when the brightness is above 65 nits. From there on it’s all bad. The display only covers 51% of the sRGB color gamut, which is half the colors on the Internet.
Moving over to the color accuracy, here the laptop doesn’t do well either. We tested the accuracy of the display with 24 commonly used colors. You can check out the results at factory condition and also, with the “Design and Gaming” profile.
