Are there any alternatives?
The ZenBook UX333 is a competitive option if you just want a clamshell laptop. Hopefully, Asus will update it to 10th-gen CPUs, because being limited to 8th-gen parts holds it back.If you can spend more money, then the HP Spectre x360 13 is a great 2-in-1 alternative. It’s faster, has a better display option with its OLED panel, and is one of the sharpest laptops around.
If you’re looking for a laptop with a 360-degree hinge, I recommend the HP Spectre x360. It’s small and refined like the Dell XPS 13, and it’s a bit cheaper.
Finally, if you’re a MacOS fan, then you could consider the new MacBook Air. It’s faster, has the excellent Magic Keyboard, and comes as close to budget pricing as you’ll find in Apple’s lineup.
How long will it last?
The Yoga C640 will last as long as you’ll need it to, thanks to up-to-date components and a solid build. The only real limitation is the lack of Thunderbolt 3 support, but you just can’t expect that high-speed port at just$600. The 1-year warranty is standard and disappointing, as usual.
