Computer giant ASUS has just announced a new supercharged entry in their ultra-thin notebook line, the ASUS VivoBook 14 (Z403).
This new laptop’s most striking feature is that amazing 24-hour battery life thanks to its 4-cell, 72Wh battery that will keep you company for long periods of time. We’ll be doing our own stress test on the battery life once we get hold of a unit later this month.
Its ultra-slim profile of 16.5mm and a weight of only 1.35kg make it an ideal travel buddy. Furthermore, it can withstand a beating with its military-grade durability, with the ability to withstand some of the harshest environments such as extreme altitude, temperature and humidity, so it’s not just a pretty face, er, screen.
And speaking of its screen, it is certainly a looker with its frameless, four-sided NanoEdge display with a 4.1mm-thin bezel, boasting an impressive 87% screen-to-body ratio – one of the highest among its notebook peers. Coupled with a 16:9 aspect ratio in a Full HD (1920×1080) display, you’re sure to be treated with stunning visuals.
The ASUS VivoBook 14 (Z403) is also quite the workhorse for its petite size, packing an 8th-gen Intel i7 processor with 8GB RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD to ensure your work is always silky smooth. Furthermore, it sports an in-built fingerprint sensor – a staple among current-gen notebooks these days – for ensured security for your machine.
The ASUS VivoBook 14 (Z403) is available now for S$1,598 at all ASUS Brand Shops,

Marion has a serious RPG addiction. Sometimes it bleeds into real life; he forgets to sleep because he thinks he has a Witcher’s body clock. Forgive him in advance if he suddenly blurts out terms such as “Mind Flayer” and “Magic Missile”, because never once does he stop thinking about his next Dungeons & Dragons game.
