Yes, Asus. We often hear his name, especially with laptops and computer components. However, the brand also has a wide range of products such as smartphones, tablets, network equipment, and is also a leading brand in the All-in-One PC market, also known as All-in-One PC.
Asus, which develops its products with high quality materials and components and brings them together with care at the point of design, once again brings its experience to the table with the Asus A3402 All-in-One Computer on our table.
Now, this device is an All-in-One PC, that is, a compact computing solution that combines the power of a desktop computer with a minimalist design. It has all the basic components it needs behind its screen and is ready to use when you plug in the keyboard and mouse out of the box. There is no separate case, no extra cable clutter, a completely compact and practical solution. In addition to providing ease of use, it also looks aesthetically beautiful. We believe that the device, which shows this with its design, will be the right model for you, especially if you have a limited workspace or if you prefer a minimalist workspace due to its compact structure.
So, what does this device offer? Now, without further ado, let’s get into the details.
High Performance with Intel Core i7 Processor
We’ll get to the computer’s design and environmental features, but first we’d like to start by talking about its technical staff and performance. Because ultimately, what kind of performance you will get on this device is important.
Asus used Intel processors in this All-in-One PC. In our model, there is an Intel Core i7-1255U processor from Intel’s 12th generation processor family. This processor stands out with its focus on both performance and efficiency. While 2 of these cores of the Intel Core i7-1255U, which is designed in a 10-core structure, work as performance-oriented, 6 of them work as efficiency-oriented. Thus, this computer provides a good balance of performance and efficiency, which will be needed in home and office uses. So much so that it only consumes up to 55W when operating under maximum load. This isn’t much different from a laptop processor, either.
Intel Core i7-1255U, which can reach a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7GHz when it comes to performance, can also reduce the core frequency to 3.50GHz in cases where energy efficiency is prominent. In this way, it provides optimum performance in applications that require power, while doing your daily work, and in your social media browsing.
At this point, it should be said: This processor is not the only option for the Asus A3402. If you wish, you can get this computer with Intel Core i5 and Core i3 processor options, as well as Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron processor options.
The same goes for memory and storage areas. Looking at the memory side, we see that there are different configuration options up to 32GB DDR4-3200MHz. You can configure it as single channel or dual channel. There are also a wide range of options on the storage side. We particularly liked the adoption of the dual-storage design here. In other words, you can equip this device with both SSD and HDD at the same time. Thus, both fast file access and large capacity needs are met. PCIe Gen3 SSD options from 128 GB to 512 GB provide you with the speed you need, while a 1 TB HDD meets the required storage space.
We used the Asus A3402 both for our daily work and for our office work, and let’s say that we are very satisfied with the result. With the Intel Core i7-1255U processor, you can easily handle all kinds of work. Windows 11 operating system boots in seconds with fast SSD; It provides trouble-free use while surfing the Internet, file transfer jobs and office applications. On the graphics side, there is the Iris Xe graphics unit, one of Intel’s powerful new generation GPUs. You can also do light video editing. Of course, this device is not a gaming computer, but you can still play popular games such as PUBG or Valorant.
By the way, speaking of online games such as PUBG and Valorant, let’s say that Asus A3402 uses dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on the wireless connection side and supports Bluetooth 5.2. Especially Wi-Fi 6 was a good choice, because this new generation wireless network technology can provide wireless connection up to 3 times faster than W,-Fi 5.
Incredibly Narrow Bezel NanoEdge Display
Yes, now that we’ve talked about this part, we can talk about the screen that looks really nice when you look at it and the design details around it.
When you look at the screen of the Asus A3402, it is possible to think of it as a separate monitor – besides, we will talk about the fact that you can use this device as a simple monitor with its feature that we will talk about shortly.
The screen of the Asus A3402 provides a really beautiful image and presents it to you in a wide area. This screen has an extremely thin NanoEdge design. So screen edge bezels are almost nonexistent. In this way, the screen-to-body ratio of the monitor is based on 88 percent. This means a wider field of view. When you look at the monitor like this, your eyes don’t get caught in the edge frames.
While the size of the screen is 23.8 inches, the resolution is at the Full HD level. This screen size and amount of resolution is ideal for home and office use. The technical values of the panel also include a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a brightness of 250 nits.
By the way, a nice detail; This screen of Asus A3402 can be optionally preferred with touch feature. Thus, you can move your experience at the point of use to a more intuitive point if you want.
The panel of the screen is IPS. IPS panels are famous for offering wide viewing angles as well as color saturation and vividness. This screen also covers 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut and offers a wide viewing angle of up to 178 degrees. In addition, it has another nice feature: Asus used Splendid technology in this device to reproduce real-life colors on the screen. This technology performs image optimization to deliver the best image quality. In this way, the colors appear vivid and clear on the screen.
Stylish Design and Rich Connection Options
Asus A3402 All-in-One PC is a computer that reinforces the visuality of the screen with its design. In addition to the white color option, there is also a black model. The silver area at the bottom of the screen, together with the Asus logo on the right, provides a very stylish look. On the stand part, a metallic silver is preferred. While this stand looks beautiful in its design, it also holds the display pretty solidly; You can easily move the screen to the desired angle.
A separate section for the camera has been added to the top of the screen. Here, there is a camera that produces an image in HD resolution. Next to it is a built-in microphone. We will return to this part in a moment.
Looking at the bottom of the screen, we see that several links have been placed here for easy access. Here are the USB 2.0 port and headphone jack. In addition, if you want an SD card reader under the screen, Asus provides this slot optionally. This is an option that people who are particularly interested in photography and video will enjoy.
When we turn the back of the screen, we encounter a series of connection slots here as well. The Asus A3402 offers us quite a wide range of options in the port. There are 3 USB 3.2 Type-A and 1 USB 2.0 as well as 1 Type-C port here. We have 2 different options with 2 HDMI 1.4 connections placed at the image transfer point. One of them is used as input and the other as output. So as we just said, you can connect this display to a laptop using the HDMI input and use it as a secondary monitor. Or you can switch to dual monitor setup by placing another monitor next to this computer and transferring the image via HDMI output.
Enhanced Bass Reflex Speakers
Now, we would like to talk about a point that we really like about this device. As you may know, the sound part is not given much importance in All-in-One PCs. The user is more likely to use an external speaker or headphones on this type of device. But Asus’s inclination to sound on this computer seems to change this understanding. Because the sound performance surprised us. There are 2 3W speakers on the device and these advanced bass reflex speakers offer an immersive multimedia experience.
These built-in stereo speakers can reach a very loud sound with a total power of 6W. It is also supported with Dolby Atmos. In this way, the sound is intended to absorb you completely. The use of a lower bass reflex in order not to distort the bass while listening to music increases the enjoyment of listening to music on this device.
ASUS SonicMaster, developed by the Asus Golden Ear team, is also specially optimized for this computer. This provides a quality sound over a wide frequency range for clearer vocals and deep bass. But not only music, of course, you can also enjoy SonicMaster in movies and games. In all 3 scenarios, we can say that the speakers definitely strengthen the atmosphere.
We would also like to open an audio-related bracket to AI-powered noise canceling technology. Asus A3402 All-in-One PC includes artificial intelligence-assisted noise canceling technology. This technology uses advanced machine learning techniques and includes both an upstream function to filter out noise around the speaker and a downstream function to remove noise from the person at the other end of the conversation. Leaving aside the technical discourse, this is a technology that aims to provide you with a clearer audio experience during video calls on this computer. The microphone placed next to the camera transmits your voice to the other party by purifying it from environmental noise, and the voice of the other party reaches you clearly, so you can get a good video call experience. So, if you have a noisy environment in your home or office, you don’t have to worry too much with this device.
Conclusion
Yes, Asus has come up with a really nice compact desktop option with the A3402 All-in-One PC. It looks beautiful and minimalist with its design, does not take up much space with its compact structure, and with its weight of only 5.4 kilograms, you can easily carry it wherever you want. In terms of performance, it does a good job with the already used Intel Core i7 processor and other peripherals. It also strengthens its hand with its rich connection options and especially its speakers. Any way you look at it, it’s a really good device for the All-in-One PC category.
The usage area is very wide. It will be a good option for daily activities such as surfing the Internet, checking e-mails, spending time on social media, watching popular content and doing simple office tasks, as well as very suitable for businesses, educational institutions and creative professionals who want to save space. In other words, if you want to have a computer that looks stylish, it can be just for you, and it is also ideal for offices with its performance and compact structure.
