Why We Like This Product (Reviewed by the YPC Team)
At our activity centre at YPC, machines like this are exactly what we look for when kitting out reception desks and back office systems. The ASUS A3402 is neat, reliable and fast enough for day to day operational work without drawing attention to itself.
We particularly like how responsive it feels thanks to the Gen 4 SSD. Even with only 8GB of RAM, general tasks remain smooth, and the system stays quiet throughout the working day, which matters in shared environments.

Performance and Day to Day Experience
The Intel Core i5 1335U uses a hybrid core design that balances performance and efficiency. For typical workloads such as email, documents, browser based tools and video calls, it feels quick and responsive.
The PCIe Gen 4 SSD plays a big role in the overall experience, keeping boot times short and applications snappy. For users who work mainly in productivity software, performance is more than adequate.

The 23.8 inch Full HD display provides a comfortable workspace for documents, spreadsheets and web browsing. Text is sharp, and screen size is well suited to desk based work without overwhelming smaller spaces.
For video calls and streaming, the display offers consistent colour and brightness, making it a solid everyday panel for business and home use.
