Compared with Lenovo’s Thinkpad line-up and Dell latitude laptops, HP Pavilion series is generally considered the better looking ones. It is the performance where all three are running for the top spot. With HP Pavilion Plus, the brand is also trying to win this round. So is this indeed the perfect enterprise and student laptop? I will explain this in my review. <br /><br /><strong>Price &amp; Availability</strong><br />HP Pavilion Plus is available only in one variant. The laptop comes with an Intel core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and Intel iRIS Xe graphics. It is available at a price of ₹79,999. You can buy the laptop from Amazon India, HP’s own website, and select offline retailers. <br /><br /><strong>Design &amp; Display</strong><br />HP Pavilion Plus follows a familiar design language that we are accustomed to on HP laptops. Offered only in a natural silver color, it looks chic and yet minimalistic. Unlike the newer HP laptops with the revised HP logo on the back, here we get to see the good old circular stamp. I personally like this one.<br /><div type="image" title="HP Pavilion Plus sports a minimalistic design" msid="95145644" hostid="261" sizebytes="30914" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HP Pavilion Plus sports a minimalistic design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />On holding the laptop you realize how lightweight it is at 1.4kg. The weight distribution is also favorable, and it is easy to carry both in your hands or in a backpack.<br /><div type="image" title="You get all the necessary ports on the HP Pavilion Plus" msid="95145671" hostid="261" sizebytes="33780" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You get all the necessary ports on the HP Pavilion Plus&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Considering this is essentially a business notebook HP has provided all the necessary ports you would need here. On the right side there are two USB Type-C ports, a USB Type-A port and an HDMI port. On the left side it has a 3.5mm headphone jack, another USB Type-A port and a micro SD card reader. The card reader was beneficial for me since I copy footage regularly. It is rare on laptops these days, but having anything additional is a bonus.<br /><div type="image" title="You also get a dedicated Micro SD card reader" msid="95145701" hostid="261" sizebytes="30192" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You also get a dedicated Micro SD card reader&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Opening up the lid we are greeted with a backlit keyboard. HP is calling it a full size keyboard. However, this isn’t one considering we don’t have a dedicated number pad here. Keeping that aside, it does take some time getting used to the keyboard. Mostly because the keys aren’t soft to tap, neither do they have a deep cut out for better interaction.<br /><br /><div type="image" title="The keyboard on the Pavilion Plus has a learning curve." msid="95145728" hostid="261" sizebytes="90654" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The keyboard on the Pavilion Plus has a learning curve.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Another rather unusual choice to me was the key sizes for control and alt keys. Usually it is the control key that is the bigger of the two, but it’s the opposite in its case. And trust me, it’s more annoying than it seems. Anytime I would think I am pressing the control key I would end up punching the alt key. <br /><br />I find it very surprising that we also don’t get a ₹ symbol key on the keyboard. I have the same issue on my Macbook Pro as well. In both cases, I had to set up macros on the keyboard. Especially since this review is also written on the HP Pavilion Plus. <br /><br />That being said, with practice, you will reach back to your optimum typing speed, since the travel time here is indeed perfect. Also, the backlight on the keys is perhaps the brightest that I have seen lately. You have three levels of brightness for them, which is also useful for saving the battery. <br /><br />Keyboard shortcuts on a business laptop are a must, and HP has done a fairly good job with that. The F key row on the laptop lets you adjust pretty much everything necessary here. A quirky shortcut is an F1 key that has a smiley emoji on it. It is a shortcut to an emoji &amp; GIF menu for you to share. Something I have not seen on a laptop. <br /><br />Panning down from the keyboard, we have a big trackpad that takes up almost half the palm rest area on the laptop. As expected, you get some neat gestures on the trackpad. Like, pinch in to zoom and swipe to shift windows. However, they are a bit choppy in execution. When it comes to basic actions like tapping or scrolling on a page it works fine. But with complex gestures, it seems to miss out. And it does get annoying, especially when you are coming from a Macbook. I would try to view the tabs with a swipe but end up closing the page altogether. Eventually, I had to avoid using gestures.<br /><br /><strong>Display</strong><br />HP Pavilion Plus features a standard display for 2022 laptops in its segment. This is a 14-inch display with a screen resolution of 2240x1400 pixels. The display has thin bezels on three sides and a thick bottom bezel. These are textbook characteristics of an enterprise laptop.<br /><br />Now HP has tried to make the display for both entertainment and work. So let’s start with talking about the first aspect - entertainment.<br /><br /><div type="image" title="HP Pavilion Plus features a 14-inch 2.2K resolution display" msid="95145964" hostid="261" sizebytes="35432" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HP Pavilion Plus features a 14-inch 2.2K resolution display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The 14-inch screen size on the laptop is respectable for watching movies and shows. I watched the She-Hulk finale on it, along with the latest episode of Andor. The color tones on the panel are accurate, and the HDR also looks decent most of the time. What I didn’t like is its low brightness levels, especially outdoors. <br /><br />A show like Andor, which has a ton of scenes in outer space, demands good amounts of brightness to register the action, which was missing in this one. The black levels were also slightly underwhelming - a characteristic usually associated with LCD panels.<br /><br />But it’s not all bad here since the audio setup on the laptop will surprise you. One of the louder speaker setups I have heard on a business notebook, the HP Pavilion Plus, can provide room-filling audio. I would often find myself listening to music while working on the laptop. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="The brightness on the panel is underwhelming for watching content" msid="95146093" hostid="261" sizebytes="112960" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The brightness on the panel is underwhelming for watching content&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />While the display performance for entertainment is a bit underwhelming, it manages to make up when it comes to working. With a matte coating on the screen, there were no glares or reflections that would distract me.<br /><br />The provided screen brightness is more than enough for general computing. This involves spreadsheets, emails, and Google Meet calls as well. Also, since the display comes with an anti-glare coating, there was no problem working on the laptop outdoors as well. <br /><br />Simply put, from a strict business notebook perspective, this is one of the better displays I have personally used. But if you wish to have an all-in-one performer, then you might be disappointed.<br /><br />I want to close this section by discussing the laptop’s integrated webcam. This is a 5MP sensor that will surprise you. Usually, laptop webcams are infamous for grainy pictures and poor low light performance. The unit here takes care of both of these issues to a large extent. The sensor captured better details on video calls and did comparatively better in low light conditions. <br /><br /><strong>Software &amp; Performance</strong><br />HP Pavilion Plus is powered by a 12th gen Intel core i5 processor, which is a favorite of OEMs when it comes to business notebooks. Efficiently tuned, the chipset does fare well for general computing tasks. Namely - emails, surfing the internet, video calls, maintaining spreadsheets, and accessing Google suite.<br /><br />This serves the core purpose of this laptop, it breezes past everyday tasks smoothly. <br /><br />But I am not a regular user, since my job also demands me to edit videos. And so I gave it a shot. I installed premiere pro on the laptop and tried rendering short videos that we publish on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/businessinsiderin/reels/">Business Insider India’s </a> Instagram. <br /><br />Do note this is a 9:16 timeline with 1080P footage shot at 30 fps and some basic transitions and graphics. And while I had some doubts about it, the performance was not shabby. A 70-second video was exported within 2 minutes which is respectable. I have tried similar renders on Dell Latitude laptops with similar chipsets and the export time was in line with those. <br /><br />Where the HP Pavilion Plus surprised me was the render quality. On the Dell Latitude laptop,, I observed a green tint in the exported file, which was a GPU limitation. However, here, the Intel Iris Xe graphics show their prowess. It’s subtle but noteworthy. <br /><br />Yes, it doesn’t mean that you can rely on the Pavilion Plus as your go-to machine for video editing, considering it taps out on 1080P resolution for editing. But yes, this is good enough hardware for urgent cuts, chopping, and a fair bit of photo editing. <br /><br />Also, the 16GB of DDR4 RAM on the laptop is worth noting. It makes the operations on it breezy. From boot up speed of the laptop to starting new applications, the experience is smooth. And I am talking about heavy apps like Premiere Pro as well. <br /><br />We get 512GB of SSD storage on the laptop which provides quick read and write speeds. I also connected an HDD with the laptop to transfer data and the speed was respectable at 90 mbps. Yes, 512GB might not sound a lot on paper, but considering most professionals are using cloud and external storage these days, it should be sufficient. <br /><br />For performance reference I also ran a Geekbench and Cinebench test on the laptop. <br /><br />On the Geekbench CPU benchmark the laptop had a single-core score of 1400 while the multi-core score of 7078. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="Geekbench score for HP Pavilion Plus" msid="95146128" hostid="261" sizebytes="14568" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Geekbench score for HP Pavilion Plus&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />With cinebench which is used to check the graphics prowess of a laptop, the single-core score was 1262 points and the multi-score score was 7764. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="Cinebench R23 score equates to the graphic prowess of the laptop" msid="95146159" hostid="261" sizebytes="14700" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Cinebench R23 score equates to the graphic prowess of the laptop.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />These are impressive numbers and certainly better than what you would expect from a Business notebook. <br /><br />Before we move on to the software experience, it’s important to highlight the battery life on the HP Pavilion Plus. And this is perhaps its strongest suite. I was getting upto 4 hours of average battery life on a heavy day of usage on the laptop. The ideal drainage is also minimal and I would generally just shut the lid on the laptop and go on with my day. Charging speeds are also favorable with the laptop charging upto 50% within 30 minutes with the 90 Whr charger. A complete charge takes about an hour and 15 minutes. <br /><br />Battery life is very crucial on a business notebook and HP has done well on that aspect. <br /><br />Now, on to software. The HP Pavilion Plus runs on Windows 11 Home, and the performance is standard. Nothing extraordinary or jaw dropping. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="Windows 11 Home is smooth on HP Pavilion Plus" msid="95146230" hostid="261" sizebytes="68068" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Windows 11 Home is smooth on HP Pavilion Plus&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />And frankly, that’s not bad news. Windows 11 Home package works well in sync with the hardware on board. It is responsive and as basic as it can be. I used my usual buffet of applications that I go to on my notebooks. Instagram, Spotify, Google Chrome and Whatsapp. And the performance across them was smooth. <br /><br />So if you are familiar with the Windows 11 ecosystem and want a smoother performance then you are in for a treat. Considering the hardware does infact improve the performance to the last mile. <br /><br /><strong>Verdict</strong><br />HP Pavilion Plus finds itself at a very tough spot considering the price. At ₹79,999 it becomes very difficult to recommend this laptop to users without mentioning a specific use case. So let me break it down for you all. <br /><br />If you are someone who swears by a Windows machine and wants a reliable business notebook. Then you can consider the Pavilion Plus. It is expensive but takes care of all your executive needs. <br /><br />But, if you are a student or a dynamic user who doesn’t have a well-defined use case, then you can look at other options in the same price range. Maybe even a Macbook Air M1 if budget isn’t an issue. <br /><br /><br /><br />

Asus has managed to include several space-related design elements into the device.<br /><br />The laptop features a thin and lightweight design. It is just 15.9mm thick and weighs 1.4 kg. I was able to easily carry it with me in my bag and the weight is barely noticeable. You don’t have to worry about getting a new bag for the laptop as it can easily fit any bag that supports a 14-inch laptop.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="20220423_124143" msid="91519780" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The secondary display on the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The first thing that you will notice when you see the laptop is the secondary display at the back. Asus has dubbed this display as ZenVision. It is capable of showing the time, battery status, your business card and other animations. While it does not add much to functionality, it is a nifty addition that helps the laptop stand out among the crowd.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="Back" msid="91519832" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The laptop is built using aluminum alloy with a Zero-G Titanium finish, which is similar to the material used on space crafts. Essentially, sturdy and lightweight. The arched lines on the back are morse code that reads “ad astra per aspera”, which is Latin for “through hardships to the stars”.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="91519906" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The pattern that depicts the Mir space station.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The space theme is carried on to the palm-rest area.

During my usage, I found that the viewing angles are good.<br /><br />The display comes with Pantone validation for colour accuracy and is TUV Rheinland certified for safety and quality standards.<br /><br />The color accuracy makes it a good option for content creators and designers who need accurate colors while working. Watching movies and shows and gaming on the laptop is an excellent experience thanks to its resolution and high refresh rate that ensure good quality, even in fast-moving scenes and games.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition keyboard and trackpad" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition keyboard and trackpad"><span data-til="noop">Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition keyboard and trackpad</span></cmsannotation><br />The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition comes with the company’s ErgoLift hinge design which is aimed at making it easier for the user to type. Essentially, the keyboard is slightly raised when you open the laptop.<br /><br />        <br />The laptop comes with an edge-to-edge keyboard and the keys offer a 1.4mm key travel, which Asus claims to be the longest in this class of laptops. The space bar and the power button come with copper hue while the other keys retain the Zero-G Titanium finish. The power button comes with an integrated fingerprint sensor that supports Windows Hello.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="Spacebar" msid="91520083" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The copper hue spacebar on the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />I found that typing on the device is a good experience and the ErgoLift hinge does help a bit while typing. So, if you are a writer who uses the keyboard a lot like me, you don’t have to worry about issues with typing as the laptop offers a comfortable typing experience, even if you are working for extended hours at a time.<br /><br />        <div type="image" title="20220423_124025" msid="91520016" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The trackpad on the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Coming to the trackpad, it comes with the company’s NumberPad 2.0 design. The touchpad comes with a number pad integrated in it, which can be enabled with the tap of a button. This is useful when you have to enter a lot of numbers regularly, making it a good option for users in the finance and accounting field.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition performance" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition performance"><span data-til="noop">Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition performance</span></cmsannotation><br />The Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is equipped with the 12th gen Intel H series processors.

Although the sales were down 23% compared to last year, sales in China remained strong. But the most significant part about the quarter was that over 50% of its retail sales came from electric vehicles (EV), which includes Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque.<br /><br />This brings the company's overall share of electric vehicles in its 2020 sales to 43.3%, and the management is upbeat on its future outlook. Tata Motors said that EVs' contribution is ‘poised for further growth in 2021 and beyond.’<br /><br />This follows a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/tata-motors-stock-surge-the-early-trading-hours-today-after-the-company-reported-a-21-increase-in-total-vehicle-sales/articleshow/80092876.cms">21% growth</a> in domestic sales in December for Tata Motors. Investors are cheering the improving sales, recovery in sentiment, and the company's optimistic outlook. The share price of Tata Motors rallied nearly 12%, trading near its 52-week high at 11:00 am. It has surged nearly 25% in two trading sessions.<br />          <div type="image" title="Copy of Tata Motors" msid="80228622" hostid="261"></div><br />In fact, the stock has gained nearly 83% in the past 3 months. <br /><br /><strong>Electric vehicles: the next growth driver </strong><br /><br />After recently launching Jaguar XE, Jaguar XF, and Land Rover Discovery, the company is building further on its expansion plans in the EV segment. It remains committed to its electrification strategy and has a growing portfolio of electrified Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles — extending to 12 models across its portfolio. JLR also plans to continue with the rollout of its new range of 21 Model Year vehicles.<br /><br />Over the last few years, Tata Motors has channelised a significant part of its efforts towards the development of electric vehicles and the results are showing now. Suraj Ghosh, principal analyst at IHS Markit says that while Tata began its journey with the Tigor EV, it's the success of Nexon that made the difference. “The Nexon has hit a nice balance between affordability and parity with ICE-vehicles (internal combustion engine vehicles) as it demands only about 20% premium over its top-trim diesel automatic variant,” he told Business Insider. <br /><br />In fact, the Tata Nexon EV clocked 2,200 units in sales in just <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/tata-nexon-ev-crosses-2-000-sales-mark-120120300767_1.html#:~:text=Tata%20Motors%20on%20Thursday%20said,major%20said%20in%20a%20statement.">ten months</a> since its launch and is the best-selling electric car in India. And after the considerable success of its Tata Nexon electric vehicle, the company has a slew of EV <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/checkout-the-new-electric-car-expected-to-launch-in-2021/slidelist/79584123.cms">launches lined up</a> for the year ahead — from Tata Altroz EV to Tata Tiago.<br /><br />Ghosh adds that what sets Tata Motors apart from its competitors in its efforts to build the EV business is its strategy to ‘leverage its group companies’ capabilities to build an ecosystem’ for its electric vehicles.<br /><br />Shailesh Chandra, President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors, <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/how-tata-made-nexon-ev-a-success-story/article33439138.ece">told The Hindu Business Line</a> that, “a smart strategy with a clear focus on breaking the key EV barriers and partnerships with group companies such as Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata AutoComp Systems, and Tata Capital for establishing the EV ecosystem, has paid dividends for the company.”<br /><br /><strong>Tata Motors’ plans to boost its EV business in India <br /></strong><br />The homegrown automaker is working towards building a range of affordable electric cars. A <a href="https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/companies/article/tata-motors-plans-to-launch-series-of-affordable-e-vehicles-shares-jump/706081">report suggests</a> that the company plans to price its green cars at not more than 15-20% premium to conventional petrol/diesel vehicles. <br /><br />Although the company is optimistic about EVs growth and contribution towards its revenue, the analysts remain cautious. According to Ghosh, while Tata Motors is showing high growth (albeit on a low base), it needs much higher volumes to become mainstream. “It’s undoubtedly a great proposition, but the inflexion point will arrive only when it achieves parity compared to its ICE-powered counterparts in terms of price, range, affordability and ease of use,” he added.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Tata Motors has clarified on the market rumours of a deal with Tesla to manufacture its electric vehicles in India. In a <a href="https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/f1d8fc97-355f-41d2-bc1e-1e0c37fe9135.pdf">statement to BSE</a>, the company denied any talks of collaboration and said that they have "not taken any decision regarding a strategic partner for its PV business."<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/whatsapp-says-your-privacy-wont-be-affected-if-you-dont-use-these-features/articleshow/80225748.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">WhatsApp says your privacy won't be affected if you don't use these two optional features</a><br /><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/amazon-writes-to-sebi-again-asking-it-to-suspend-review-of-the-future-retail-reliance-deal/articleshow/80225043.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink"><strong>Amazon writes to SEBI again, asking it to suspend review of the Future Retail-Reliance deal</strong></a><br />

The two-door Civic Coupe variant bites the dust after the 2020 model year, while the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/honda-civic-si-review-specs-sedan-manual-price-horsepower-sport-2020-8">sporty Si</a> will take a hiatus for 2021 and return for the following model year. </p><h2><strong>Honda Fit</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Honda Fit" height="800" width="1200" msid="79978992" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>Carmakers are getting rid of small hatchbacks left and right, and Honda is no exception. It's axing the Fit, despite the little guy being widely regarded as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/one-of-the-best-affordable-cars-you-can-buy-just-got-an-update-2017-7">one of the best compact economy cars</a> money can buy. </p><p>It's an understandable move, given that Fit sales have declined as appetite for the brand's crossovers grows. Now the cheapest vehicle in Honda's lineup is the $21,000 HR-V, which <a href="https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/release-807c080220275f828905387c4f002e91-record-light-truck-sales-lift-ahm-and-honda-brand-to-sales-increases-in-2019">outsold the Fit three-to-one</a> in 2019. </p><h2><strong>Hyundai Elantra GT</strong></h2><div type="image" title="2020 Elantra GT " height="995" width="1326" msid="79978994" hostid="261"></div><p>The hatchback version of the Hyundai Elantra heads to the great junkyard in the sky after the 2020 model year, along with its sporty sibling, the GT N Line. <a href="https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3101">Hyundai said</a> the hatchback was displaced by the compact Venue and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hyundai-kona-review-photos-styling-2020-12">Kona</a> crossovers.</p><p>But the Veloster and Veloster N carry over to 2021. </p><h2><strong>Jaguar XE</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Jaguar XE" height="1667" width="2500" msid="79978995" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>Jaguar is eliminating its entry-level sport sedan, the XE, from its US lineup after selling only <a href="https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/jaguar-xe-sales-figures-usa-canada/">3,551 of them</a> in 2019. By comparison, BMW regularly sells well <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200103005391/en/BMW-of-North-America-Reports-December-2019-and-Year-End-U.S.-Sales.">over 40,000</a> 3-Series sedans annually, while Mercedes-Benz moved some <a href="https://carsalesbase.com/us-mercedes-benz-c-class/">50,000 C-Class sedans</a> in 2019. </p><p>For 2021, the XF sedan assumes the entry-level spot and gets a significant price cut to match.</p><h2><strong>Jaguar XF Sportbrake</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Jaguar XF S" height="1200" width="1800" msid="79978996" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>Wagons are also going by the wayside as crossovers take over, and Jaguar is pulling its one and only long-roof model, the XF Sportbrake, from the American market after only three model years.

This particular rear-wheel-drive sedan may be going away after 2020, but Lexus-sedan stans will still be able to choose the ES, LS, and IS. </p><h2><strong>Lincoln Continental</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Lincoln Continental" height="942" width="2000" msid="79979001" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>Lincoln has used the Continental name on and off for some 80 years, and this latest version of the car is dead for 2021.

In 2019, the brand sold some <a href="https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America/US/2020/01/06/sales-4q2019.pdf">88,000 SUVs</a> and fewer than 25,000 sedans - and that's with only a partial year of Aviator sales. </p><p>Following this year's lineup shakeups at Ford and Lincoln, the Mustang is the Blue Oval's only car left standing. </p><h2><strong>Mercedes-Benz SLC</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="_F8A6477 1200x800" height="800" width="1200" msid="79979005" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>The Mercedes-Benz SLC is has been officially discontinued with no successor planned, following more than two decades of continuous production.

Fewer than 22,000 of them rolled off of dealer lots in 2019, as compared with 304,850 Corollas, 336,978 Camrys, and 448,071 Rav4 crossovers. </p>

The laptop lineup is diverse as it has various series and segments, that includes VivoBook, ZenBook, ChromeBook, TUF and ROG laptops. With the Asus VivoBook K15, the company brings the high-end OLED display to the entry-level laptop segment. The K15 line-up is Asus’s first VivoBook launch in India with the premium OLED display. As per the company, the laptop is designed especially for younger users and should appeal to both students and professionals who need to use it for their daily tasks. <br /><br />In this review, let’s see whether the Asus VivoBook K15 with OLED display serves the target audience with promised features and performance.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Price" comment="subhead" text="Price"><span data-til="noop">Price</span></cmsannotation> <br />The Asus VivoBook K15 starts at ₹46,990 for the base model that is powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel i3 processor, 8GB RAM and comes with 256GB SSD storage.

The quality material used is at par with its counterparts in the price range and it is decent for its pricing. Even though it isn’t the lightest or the slimmest VivoBook available in the market; the K15 is still lightweight, weighing only 1.8kg.<br />                                          <div type="image" title="Design ASUS Sturdy" msid="86756843" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The VivoBook K15 weighs only 1.8kg.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>The base panel features a full-size keyboard and a touchpad that also houses the fingerprint scanner. One of the key offerings from this laptop is the multiple connectivity ports and down-firing dual speakers. The laptop houses a 720p webcam housed at the top of the display. <br />                                          <div type="image" title="Connectivity Port 1 ASUS" msid="86756855" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The laptop is equipped with multiple connectivity ports.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><strong>Keyboard and Touchpad</strong><br />The laptop comes with a backlit keyboard that is highly responsive and features a unique ‘Enter’ key that has a bold neon green outline, making it stand out from all the other keys. One issue I faced using the keyboard was using the backspace key, as at times, I would mistype the “+” since they are closely packed. The spacing of the keyboard could have been better as at times it feels cramped up, especially while using the right side of the keyboard. <br />                                          <div type="image" title="Keyboard (2)" msid="86757453" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus VivoBook K15 features a unique &amp;#8216;Enter&amp;#8217; key that has a bold neon green outline.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>Given its large 15.6-inch body, it has got sufficient area for resting your arm while typing. The touchpad is comfortable to use. The fingerprint scanner is swift in response and works as intended.<br /><br /><strong>Connectivity</strong><br />If you have this laptop, you will not run out of wired connectivity options as it comes with one USB 3.2 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C, two USB 2.0 and one HDMI 1.4 port. It also features one 3.5mm audio jack and a MicroSD card reader. While the connectivity ports offered should be sufficient for most users, the interesting thing about it is that it is all accommodated in a relatively thin base panel. <br />                                        <div type="image" title="Connectivity Port 2" msid="86756931" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The connectivity options should be sufficient for most users.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><strong>Audio</strong><br />The audio quality of the Harman Kardon bottom-firing dual speakers is quite impressive. It is loud and should be suitable for attending meetings and online classes. But if you wish to enjoy the audio from podcasts and movies, I would recommend you to connect your headphones or speakers.<br />                                      <div type="image" title="ASUS Audio Kardon" msid="86756973" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It features Harman Kardon bottom-firing dual speakers, which deliver loud audio.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><strong>Webcam</strong><br />Don’t expect too much from the webcam as the video output came out grainy in indoor lighting. Even so, it should be sufficient to attend video meetings and online classes.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display"><span data-til="noop">Display</span></cmsannotation><br />Let’s now talk about its most valuable offering, the OLED display. With this, Asus marches ahead of its competitors in offering the best display for its price. Most of its competitors offer LCDs in the affordable laptop segment. <br /><br />The display supports FHD 1980x1080p resolution and is enclosed within narrow side bezels, while the top and bottom bezels are much thicker. It offers an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 85%.<br />                                <div type="image" title="Thin Bezels" msid="86757220" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The size bezels are narrower than top and bottom bezels.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>In terms of clarity, it delivers brilliant contrast and reproduces accurate colour across various brightness levels. The colours look vibrant, and the blacks are deeper. Watching your favourite video content on YouTube or any other OTT platform should be a pleasant experience with this OLED panel portraying 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut.<br />                                  <div type="image" title="Display Full" msid="86757093" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The display reproduces accurate colours with clarity.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The display is certified with VESA DisplayHDR 500 that lets it reach a peak brightness of 500 nits which is quite remarkable. The wider viewing angle of 178-degrees is quite exceptional as the clarity doesn’t get altered even if you are viewing it from various angles. The display also comes with TÜV Rheinland Eye Care certification that should prevent straining of your eyes after long hours of usage.<br />                              <div type="image" title="Wide viewing angle" msid="86757234" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The laptop has a wide viewing angle of 178-degrees.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance"><span data-til="noop">Performance</span></cmsannotation> <br />The laptop we received for the review comes with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 16GB RAM and 1TB HD+ 256GB SSD storage. It is equipped with integrated Intel Xe Graphics and features pre-installed Windows 10. <br /><br />In real-life performance, the VivoBook K15 performs well while multi-tasking with less demanding applications. It allows you to do most of your daily tasks including web browsing, working on spreadsheets, writing, photo editing and light gaming. But these tasks shouldn’t include working on highly demanding content editing applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro for editing large video files since the rendering and visualisation is poor. <br />                            <div type="image" title="Back ASUS" msid="86757297" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This review unit comes with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 16GB RAM and 1TB HD+ 256GB SSD storage.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Loading of applications and software is quick. One of the Asus VivoBook K15’s best features is its boot time. It takes a very few seconds after you press the power button to reach the start menu. Another key point to note is that the power button is integrated with the keyboard and if you press it accidentally, your laptop will go to sleep. <br /><br />Overall, the performance of the laptop was exceptional for a laptop in this segment as I did not find any lags or hiccups while using this laptop over the last two weeks. I could multitask across applications and open multiple tabs in Google Chrome. Switching between tabs and applications was very smooth as well. <br /><br /><strong>Gaming</strong><br />Although the Asus VivoBook K15 isn’t a gaming laptop, it offered satisfactory gaming performance. We tested the first-person shooter game Valorant, and it offered a smooth performance with a quick response time. But, the laptop was heating up after about 45 minutes to one hour of gaming. <br />                            <div type="image" title="Gaming ASUS" msid="86757309" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It is not a gaming laptop but the performance was decent.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Battery" comment="subhead" text="Battery"><span data-til="noop">Battery</span></cmsannotation><br />The Asus VivoBook K15 packs a 42Wh battery and comes with a 65W charger. The battery performance disappointed me as my review unit could only last for 3 hours in the best performance power mode and it delivered about 3 hours and 45 minutes of battery life in the better battery power mode. And the charger took about an hour and 25 minutes to charge from 5% to 100%.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict"><span data-til="noop">Verdict</span></cmsannotation><br />The display, performance and design of the laptop are at par or above its competitors like Mi Notebook 14, HP 15, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 and Dell Inspiron 3501. It is a suitable laptop for students and professionals to carry out their daily activities. I didn’t face any issues in my brief experience with the laptop. But as the price tag suggests, it isn’t suitable for pro-gamers, coders or video editors. <br /><br />We find the display to be a key highlight as it offers you a brilliant viewing experience. If you are looking for an affordable laptop with an extra focus on the display, then you can buy the Asus VivoBook K15. <br /><br />But do keep in mind the battery life. If you use your laptops during your commute or at places where you may not find a charging point, then rethink your choice. <br /><br />Overall, it would make a value for money purchase for everything it has to offer at its price. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:</strong><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/realme-narzo-50a-smartphone-review-camera-upgrades-rest-remains-the-same-as-narzo-30a/articleshow/86614669.cms">Realme Narzo 50A review: Camera upgrades, rest remains the same</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-3-foldable-smartphone-review/articleshow/86366351.cms">Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review: Creasing through the folds</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/oneplus-buds-pro-review-india/articleshow/85887425.cms">OnePlus Buds Pro Review — Love bass?

He has said that technologically, the ban is not justified.<br />
<br />
Speth stated that there are many aspects in which diesel engines are better than their petrol counterparts. "I am an engineer and I am very disappointed with the ban," he stated.<br />
<br />
"I don't understand the rationale behind the ban. All our models are Euro-VI complaint and these vehicles clean the air, and the air they suck in is far dirtier than which comes out of it. If we ban these kinds of vehicles I don't understand it," Speth told PTI. He was interacting with the sidelines of the Auto Expo 2016, which started today. <br />
<br />
In order to overcome the ban, JLR would be looking to bring in more petrol variants of its models, as stated by Rohit Suri, president of JLR India. He also added that they already sell petrol variants of the Jaguar XJ, Range Rover Sport.<br />
<br />
Today at the auto expo, the company launched two petrol variants of the Jaguar XE. The new model will be assembled at the company’s Pune plant, making it the sixth model which would be assembled in the country. <br />
<br />
Speth was also asked about the impact of the slowdown in China, to which he said that 2015 was a very difficult year for the company in the world's largest auto market. He also added that confounding the problem was the heavy loss that it had to suffer, because of the blast at the Tianjin port. <br />
<br />
However, he looked hopeful about faster growth in Europe, which has become its largest market in 2015, led by Britain.<br />
