Asus Vivobook 14 X1405VAP 2024 (Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB, 1TB, 14″ WUXGA)

The 2024 iteration of the Vivobook 14 lineup with new Intel Core Ultra processors is now available in Nepal. In this article, let’s discuss the latest Asus Vivobook 14 laptops including their features, price in Nepal, and availability. 

Asus Vivobook 14 (2024) Overview 

Design and Display 

Not much has changed in the new Vivobook machines from the outside. You still get the iconic Vivobook cutout on the lid, the textured Enter key, and the same color options housed in the same chassis. That means more colorful choices for the smaller 14-inch and 15-inch while the 16-inch will have to do with just Silver & Black.

Weight-wise, the Vivobook 14 weighs 1.4kg, while the 15 and 16-inch variants are a couple of hundred grams heavier at 1.7 and 1.88 kg respectively. They all feature Asus’ micro-bacterial Guard and boast military-grade endurance.

On the display side, you are getting Full HD screens on the Vivobook 14 with 60Hz IPS screen and modest 250 nits of brightness and varying color accuracy. Variants include 45% NTSC displays, 100% sRGB ones, and a special 100% Adobe colors one but only the former has arrived in Nepal thus far. 

Performance and Memory 

Powering the new Vivobook 14 laptops is the Intel Core Series 1 processors. You get a pick between the Core 3 100U, Core 5 120U, and the Core 7 150U. Unlike the Meteor Lake Core Ultra processors, these are based on Raptor Lake architecture much like last year’s 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs. Hence, these do not get the upgraded Arc graphics and are based on less-efficient Intel 7 architecture.

As for the memory, the Vivobooks feature soldered memory with an additional SO-DIMM slot for future upgrades. There’s a single M.2 slot housing an NVME SSD. 

Battery and Connectivity

Despite the difference in size, all Vivobook notebooks (2024) ship with 42Wh batteries with a 45W charger in the box. They feature single-stream WiFi 6 alongside Bluetooth 5.2. For wired connectivity, you get a USB 3.2 Type-C port, two USB 3 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI, and an audio jack.
