ASUS VivoBook S712JA 17.3" i5-1035G1 36GB 2TB SSD+1TB HDD

17.3-inch laptop with 36 GB DDR4

This ASUS VivoBook pairs a 10th-generation Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor with 36 GB of DDR4 memory, comprising 4 GB soldered and a 32 GB module. Storage combines a 2 TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive with a 1 TB hard-disk drive. The 17.3-inch full-HD IPS panel runs at 60 Hz and 1920 by 1080 resolution. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed. Integrated Intel UHD graphics handle the display output.

Sustained workloads on integrated graphics

The four-core processor reaches a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency but shares a 45 W power budget with the integrated graphics and system components. Under continuous multi-threaded load the chip will throttle to stay within thermal and power limits, so frame rates in games or render times in creative apps will drop after the initial burst. The 47 Wh three-cell battery supplies limited runtime during heavy use away from mains power. Fan noise increases as the cooling system manages the shared thermal envelope.

Check your peripheral

The laptop provides one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port and an HDMI output. Verify that your external drives, docks or monitors match these interfaces and that the single high-speed Type-A port is sufficient for your workflow. The micro-SD reader and combo audio jack are the only other physical connections. No optical drive is fitted. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 handle wireless links. The unit weighs 5.06 lb and measures 16.00 by 10.06 by 0.62 inches.
