Performance scores
The third seat at $399
The 2021 VivoBook 14 X413 completes the $399 triple: a Core i3 1115G4, a GeForce MX330 with 2 GB, and 24 GB of RAM — the memory sitting a quarter below the class median but the largest of the three siblings. The mobility index of 72 and the 1.4 kg body repeat the family's carry-first posture, in the top quarter of the class.
The verdict names the memory as the flagged weakness and mobility as the strength. The absolute levels land where the family lands: photo and design 80 high, value 79.15 high, portability 71.3 high, office 65.45 high, gaming 19 low. The CPU differs — i3 against the siblings' i5 — and general performance reads 44.64 mid, the honest note under the sheet.
Flags green at the tier
Overwatch clears recommended; Grand Theft Auto V clears recommended with a measured 140; Far Cry 5 clears minimum at a measured 27; Photoshop and Visual Studio Code clear minimums. The MX330 confirms the same light-gaming tier as its siblings.
Depreciation math
The anchor reads 11.13% yearly with no base price attached. Five years in at $399, the extra memory is the residual — the one column where this seat beats its family.
Who should buy it
The buyer who wants the family's carry and green flags with the largest memory of the three, accepting the i3 engine. Light work, light games, honest data.
Bottom line: this seat trades a CPU tier for the family's largest memory — 24 GB against the siblings' 16 — and keeps everything else: mobility 72 top quarter, portability 71.3 high, photo and design 80 high, value 79.15 high, and five green flags with measured frames. General performance reads 44.64 mid, the honest cost of the i3 engine. The gaming index at 19 low repeats across the triple — the family's shared ceiling, documented on every diagonal. At $399 the ticket prices the tier; the memory column is the one place this seat leads its row.
