Model: The Asus VivoBook E12 E203NAH-FD023T is designed to help a users be productive all day, even when they are on the move. This compact and lightweight 11.6-inch laptop is powered by the latest low-power Intel Celeron N3350 microprocessor at 1.1 GHz and provides up to 10 hours of battery life. With preloaded Windows 10, it offers full compatibility with a wide range of software and peripherals. It’s the best laptop for people on the go. The VivoBook E12 is available in three gorgeous graduated finishes: Star Grey, Petal Pink, and Pearl White. Unique hexagonal motifs on the front cover add a distinctive touch of individuality. With its 180° hinge, the VivoBook E12 can be laid flat on the table to share content with friends and colleagues.

Intel HD Graphics 500: Integrated low-end graphics adapter with DirectX 12 support, which can be found in some ULV SoCs from the Apollo Lake series.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Celeron N3350: An Apollo Lake family, dual-core, ultra-low-power processor (SoC) that saw the light of day in 2016. Its two cores run at 1.1 GHz to 2.4 GHz; these are not Hyper-Threading-enabled meaning there are no additional threads. This chip has a fairly competent integrated graphics solution, the Intel HD Graphics 500, and eats very little (~6 W). The Celeron N3350 is based on the Goldmont CPU microarchitecture that came to replace Silvermont (2013), bringing with it several welcome improvements. The CPU is Secure Boot-compatible; technically, it will have no issue running 64-bit Windows 11. The average N3350 in our database is just as fast as the venerable Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 is in multi-thread loads; the two cores of this Celeron trail behind a single core of any half-decent CPU such as the Intel Core i3-7130U.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
