Performance, battery life of the Asus R515EA-EJ2117W

The Asus R515EA-EJ2117W is a thin and light 15-inch High Definition laptop for everyday multipurpose use.

The overall performance it provides is suitable for many users. This is because it relies on a good amount of above-average 16 GB RAM combined with a low-power Intel Tiger Lake Quad Core i5-1135G7 processor.

In addition, thanks to the Iris Xe graphics solution (tested by us) integrated into the Core i5, you can watch photos and videos but also play modest games.

The storage is entrusted to an SSD that competes in capacity with the standard hard drives with its 512 GB. While being silent, less energy consuming, more robust and much faster.
As a result, the SSD guarantees a much better reactivity and fluidity in use than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, start/stop operations are much faster, as are the processing and launching of applications, and you can get to the online game maps faster.

Of course, if 512 GB is not enough, you can use an external storage unit. A USB 3.0/USB-C device is an interesting option for fast transfers.
You can also add a second SSD or a hard disk via the free 2.5-inch slot.

As for autonomy, expect about 5 hours on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook with an elegant silver design whose slimness and contained weight facilitate transport.
