New Asus BU400A laptops have arrived in Ukraine. We got one such. About him review.

So let's start from the beginning - from the box.


')
The box says that nobody cares about us: ecological packaging. Although it may be someone and inspired by the fact that this "eco".
Equipment
In addition to the box went:
A good-looking, and by the way, lightweight power supply. The power supply is not a format - a special shape, light, not heavy as usual. A nice little thing on the power supply is a moving latch for the wire. Lateral orientation of the input for power - looks very good.


And two laces. For Euro-sockets

And for American outlets

Whole kit
Appearance
The laptop is all in clear corners - as befits a technological thing. In the case there is no extra angle. To look at him and touch his hands - very nice. The whole body is made of aluminum. Despite the fact that the laptop is “for the harsh men”: it is light - 1.5 kg.
The manufacturer says that the laptop is shockproof - did not check, I'm sorry, I just need to give it away ...
The most important advantage: the keyboard. It is pleasant to the touch, the buttons are cool pressed. She almost repeats the eplovsky. On the buttons you want to press and click. I can compare it because I have an e-keyboard on my desk. The island keyboard, besides water-proof - also did not check.
Small such jokes are distinguished by human design - there is a little running man on the space.

There is such a small depression for the keyboard, that is, the palms rest as usual on the panel, and the keys themselves are lower, which makes it much more comfortable for the fingers. In general, as I wrote at the beginning, all the corners of the device are very appropriate.

Large (multi) touchpad. Also near the keyboard - a finger scanner, a controversial function, my personal opinion - no one has ever used it, wherever it is, but there is a function - who wants to use it. Since the machine will be focused more on the business audience, obviously, therefore such a function is present.

Sidebar on the right. Card reader, headphones, USB 3.0, VGA, lock.

Sidebar on the left: power, power port, HDMI, and USB 3.0 with support for charging devices in sleep mode. A detachable Ethernet port deserves special attention, there are small holes for ventilation near the network port so that the port does not heat up.

The laptop itself is 2 cm thick. And what is called “neither low nor high” - in the hands you need no more and no less than thickness.

Front panel. Light sensor - which, depending on the lighting, adjusts the brightness of the screen. Webcam, and 2 microphones.

On the edge of the screen there is such a thin rubber clipping, so that when closing it does not accidentally damage the screen.
Technical DataThe machine comes with i3, i5 or i7 processors. Screen size 14 with a resolution of 1600x900.
GamesLaunched on it "World of Tanks". FPS during the game did not fall below 40, the maximum was 75.
Screenshots of the game as it is without a sting (Caution! Big pictures!)


What else to sayVery, very good innovation: it does not warm the left leg / hand, it does not warm the mug next to it. Air vents are unnoticeable near the hinges of the monitor.
These laptops cost about 800-900 dollars. There is also a second modification with taskrinom.
You also need to say that in many configurations there is a mouse and a bag:

As one good designer said that he decided to buy a laptop, came to the store, they put 10 pieces on him and let's talk about megahertz, and he went and bought a poppy, and why, we ask: “well, it is pleasant to the touch, and the buttons are so beautiful ... “This is a shame to admit, but it is. It is necessary that the object was the object of desire. Here ASUS is such a quite good contender for the title of the “object of desire”. Very, very nice.
