ASUS VivoBook 17.3" i5-1035G1 36GB 1TB SSD+1TB HDD Silver

Purpose and user

The ASUS VivoBook 17.3 inch laptop combines a 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor with 36GB of DDR4 memory and dual storage totalling two terabytes. It suits professionals and students who need a large screen for multitasking, document work and video calls without a dedicated graphics card. Buyers who require discrete GPU performance for rendering or modern gaming should look elsewhere.

Sustained workload behaviour

The four core processor runs at a base frequency of 1.00GHz and can reach 3.6GHz under turbo for short bursts. During extended sessions such as large spreadsheet calculations or continuous video conferencing the integrated Intel UHD graphics share system memory and the chip will throttle to stay within its thermal envelope, so performance settles below the peak turbo figure.

Thermals noise and power

A 45 watt power adapter charges the 47 watt hour three cell battery while the 60Hz IPS panel draws modest power. The silver chassis relies on passive and low speed active cooling that stays quiet during typical office loads; fan noise becomes audible only when the processor holds higher frequencies for several minutes.
