With the busy life schedule and mobility nowadays, the technology that suits this kind of lifestyle is definitely in high demand. Hence, having that laptop with long battery life and lightweight comes always in mind for people who are always on the go.
Options are too many, but there is this one laptop I have discovered recently that aside for its ultra-portability and 24 hours of battery lifespan, the price is also right on the budget.
Meet Vivobook 14-X403FA, the newest Military grade 14” ultraportable laptop with 24 hours of battery lifespan from Asus.
Here are some of the pros of why you should get this unit:
- Immersive Computing, All day Long – Vivobook 14-X403 has an amazing battery capacity with up to 24 hrs. battery life. It got 4-sided NanoEdge display with 4.1mm thin bezel and 87% screen to body ratio. It is ultralight and portable at just 1.3kg light,16.5 mm thin.
- Metallic Design with Military-grade durability – It was able to meet the demanding MIL-STD-810G military standard. Build with all-metal chassis with two unique colors to choose from – Silver Blue & Petal Pink.
- Smart Productivity – Up to 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor. Up to 16Gb Rm for multi-tasking and up to 1TB PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD storage, with fingerprint sensor (optional) for one-touch log-in.
Vivobook 14-X403FA is actually very suited to two types of audiences – the Younger Crowd & The Smart Practical.
Young professionals who are between the ages 18-28 would definitely be attracted to Vivobooks’ long battery life and lightweight. Having that energetic vibe and creativity, the younger crowd would probably be taking this laptop almost anywhere or even work over coffee or on travels.

For the smart practical, which is actually the kind of person who is rational would always favor simple practicality in life. As long as it brings convenience, without sacrificing performance, appearance, and budget, then it is good to go. Which I personally appreciate.
Actually, having that long-lasting battery life is something that gives ASUS Vivobook 14 X403 a thumbs up already for practical people like me. (Also Read: ASUS 13 Burgundy Red)
And I guess that’s the very purpose why the laptop is created portable, for you to be able to not be stuck the whole day at a desk. It gives you the freedom to move from one place to another without the hassle of bringing the power adaptor along the way.
And because it is thin and lightweight, I can simply slip my Vivobook 14 into my messenger bag or backpack and I’m ready to go.
Another thing that I love about this unit is its new frameless four-sided Nanoedge design which actually gives my Vivobook an almost bezel-free display with vast amounts of screen area and extremely immersive visuals, for work and play. And because I love inserting a Netflix or HOOQ hour in between work, this feature definitely favors me especially that the new Vivobook 14 got an FHD display and 178 degrees wide viewing angle.

But the awesomeness didn’t end there, have you heard about the ASUS Tru2Life feature? Luckily, Asus was able to include the Tru2Life feature on Vivobook 14. Asus Tru2Life video technology optimizes each pixel in the video frame to increase sharpness and contrast by 150%, so users can actually enjoy the best possible image quality. Though this technology is something a bit technical already, I guess the idea of knowing it would really give the unit plus points.
ASUS Vivobook 14 is also MIL-STD 810G tested, which means it underwent and pass the military standard for durability and reliability. The extended test includes operation in harsh environments including extreme altitudes, temperature, and humidity. It has also passed the AUS internal laptop test that far exceeds the standard set by the industry.
Making this unit more flexible, ASUS retains most of the needed I/O ports. The X403 has a USB-C 3.1 Gen1, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 2.0, HDMI and an SD card reader.
One of the other things that attract me the most when purchasing a suited laptop is its audio quality both with earphones/headphones and without. Because I love listening to music as well as watching movies on my laptop, having a powerful and good audio quality is a must. Good thing Asus Vivobook 14 has it. ASUS Sonicmaster gives Asus VivoBook 14 quality audio delivery with a wider frequency range for clearer vocals and rich, deep bass. SonicMaster is a tailored mix of superior hardware and clever software designed to give us full audio controls for truly immersive sound for movies, music, and games.
And did I mention, Asus VivoBook 14 also has both a Fingerprint sensor and Windows Hello, we both love for easy access.
