This Asus laptop could be a very good desire for productiveness applications in addition to standard makes use of like email, internet browsing, and video streaming. The important attraction, however, is the 17.3-inch show with a 1600-by-900 resolution. The processor strolling the pc is the Intel Core i5-1035G1. That`s an Ice Lake processor that rolled out in overdue 2019. A little on the old side, however nonetheless a very good performer for a productive pc with 4 cores, 8 threads, and a lift to 3.6GHz.

If you’re searching out a laptop with a ton of storage, there’s a pleasing deal taking place at Best Buy proper now. The big-field store is selling a 17.3-inch Asus VivoBook with a Core i5 for $500. That`s $200 off of the MSRP and a great charge thinking about the specs.

The RAM count is a bit uncommon at 12GB, however, that’s a great amount. It additionally has 1TB of the onboard garage. This is some other oddity because the garage is a tough drive, now no longer the greater normal SSD you’d expect to peer those days. Another strange desire is that it’s strolling in Windows eleven Home in S Mode. There’s no purpose for a laptop with those specifications to be strolling that, so we`d heartily recommend doing a one-way upgrade to complete Windows 11.
