Performance Summary

The ASUS Vivobook X1404VA-I38128 runs on the Intel Core i3-1315U with 2P+4E cores, posting a PassMark multi-thread score of 11,515. That places it ahead of 1% of the 101 laptops in our August 2026 database. Expect competent everyday performance — office suites, streaming and light photo edits are fine; heavy creation is not its lane.

Display

You get a 14″ IPS panel at 1920x1080 (157 PPI) refreshing at 60 Hz. The IPS panel offers dependable viewing angles and accurate-enough color for everyday use.

Gaming Performance

There is no dedicated GPU here — graphics run on the Intel integrated solution, scoring 2.1/10 for gaming. Esports staples (Valorant, LoL, CS2) are playable at modest settings; modern AAA gaming is off the table.

Productivity

For office and productivity work the Vivobook X1404VA-I38128 scores 2.6/10. 8 GB of DDR4 memory covers everyday workloads, though heavy multitaskers will hit the ceiling. The 128 GB SSD keeps boots and file operations fast.

Programming

Developers should expect a 2.5/10 experience. Core count is limited — fine for scripting and web work, slow for big compiles. Note the soldered RAM: buy the capacity you’ll need in 3 years, today.

Video Editing

Without a dGPU, editing leans entirely on the CPU — fine for 1080p cuts, slow for 4K multi-layer work. For color-critical delivery, plan on an external calibrated monitor.

3D Rendering & Engineering

3D and engineering workloads score 2.6/10. Integrated graphics restrict this machine to light 2D CAD and coursework-scale models.

Battery

Battery specifics aren’t listed in our source data, so treat this as guidance: expect average endurance typical of this class.

Upgradeability

RAM is soldered at 8 GB — what you buy is what you keep. Storage is M.2 SSD-based, typically replaceable for capacity upgrades.

Heat & Noise

Integrated-graphics designs like this run cool and quiet; fan noise should only surface under sustained heavy loads.

Port Selection

Port selection isn’t enumerated in our source sheet, but as a general laptop in the 14″ class, expect the standard mix of USB-A, USB-C and HDMI. Verify the exact loadout on the Amazon listing before buying.
