The new Asus V400 is not just another desktop PC, but the first AIO (All-in-One) device powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processor. This means that the Windows on Arm platform is finally entering the world of desktop PCs, where it promises high performance and quiet operation.

At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon X Plus processor (model X1P-42-100), which includes eight cores and a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with 45 TOPS of processing power. This hardware enables advanced artificial intelligence features within the Copilot+ PC service. The visual experience is provided by a 60.96 cm (24-inch) display with Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and a refresh rate of 100 Hz. The display covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut and is certified by TÜV Rheinland for reduced blue light and flicker, ensuring comfort during long-term use.

The Asus V400 also offers up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X system memory and up to 1 TB of SSD space (PCIe 4.0). Despite its compact design, the computer includes a rich set of connectors, including USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and a wired network connector (RJ45). Wireless connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Also special is the built-in 1080p webcam with a physical privacy shutter, and a sound system with Dolby Atmos technology and a smart amplifier.

The design of the computer is extremely flexible. The stand allows for tilt, swivel and height adjustment, and the screen can also be rotated to a portrait position. The device is priced at a converted 849 euros. The price also includes a wireless keyboard and mouse.
