Asus’ VivoBook x202E-DH31T is a curious beast. It’s a small, cheap-ish touchscreen notebook with an Intel Core i3 processor. This 11.6-inch laptop’s performance scores are somewhere in between regular all-purpose laptops and wannabe tablets—in other words, it’s a netbook with a touchscreen.
The VivoBook x202E-DH31T, which costs $500, sports a third-generation Intel Core i3-3217U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive spinning at 5400rpm. The VivoBook also has built-in Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and an 11.6-inch touchscreen. It runs a 64-bit version of Windows 8.
Performance
The VivoBook x202E-DH31T is on its own little island when it comes to performance. In our WorldBench 8 benchmark tests, the VivoBook scored 33 out of 100, which means it’s 67 percent slower than our baseline testing model (which sports a desktop-class i5 processor). Compared with similarly-sized tablet-laptop hybrids such as the HP Envy x2 (18), the Acer Iconia W510-1422 (17), and the Samsung XE500T1C-A01 (17), the VivoBook’s score is very good.
Then again, the VivoBook is 100 percent laptop—it’s not using an Intel Atom processor, but an actual Core i3 CPU. It’s also not a tablet with a dock, like the aforementioned systems.
