The Asus laptop L210 is nothing special in terms of build quality. Its body is built entirely of plastic, but it doesn’t feel like it could break easily. The l210 has thick bezels on the front, which makes the screen feel small. We also noticed that there are no vents on this laptop because the Celeron in this Asus laptop can be cooled without a fan, so that’s nice to know that there won’t be any fan noise if dust gets clogged in the vents.
Let’s talk about the ports. The Asus laptop L210 features a full HDMI cable 1.4 port, a Type A USB 3.1 port, and a Type C 3.1 port on the left side. This port is for file transfer only, and you cannot charge the laptop with it, nor can you connect a monitor to this laptop via this port. The laptop has a headphone microphone combo jack and a USB 2.0 Type-A port on the right side, which is ideal for connecting a mouse.

Where to get ASUS Vivobook L210?
The Asus laptop L210 stands out for its signature feature, which is its trackpad. This laptop has a built-in Numpad on the trackpad that you can toggle with a capacitive button on the top right of the trackpad. This is an easy addition for accountants and people studying math. You can use the trackpad while the Numpad toggle is on, but it can lead to accidentally pressing the number. The trackpad experience is acceptable and responsive and does its job just fine.
Let’s talk about specs. The Asus laptop L210 has a Celeron, a dual-core processor clocked at 2.6Ghz. This chip is Intel’s weakest offering that is optimal for Web browsing and Word processing tasks. At the same time, the weakness of this CPU makes it efficient, keeping this laptop fanless and lasting longer. Also, if it is not obvious by now, the thought of gaming on this laptop will send shivers down the spine of this Celeron.
However, the expansion options end just there. The Asus laptop L210 fails with its 4GB of non-expandable RAM, which is a big dealbreaker because, from my experience, Windows starts to suffer when you open a few Chrome tabs and install some apps with that much RAM. And the 8GB of ram should be just the minimum amount of RAM for an optimal experience with Windows.
Apart from this, the laptop comes with your average WiFI 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 and has a VGA camera that has potato quality and is acceptable for your average zoom call.
The battery is where this laptop also shines. With its 38Wh, Asus laptop L210 can easily last 10 hours, while you get at least 8 hours even if you use it heavily. This is possible because of its energy-efficient processor and screen, which brings us to the screen.
