ASUS today announced the VivoBook E203, an affordable 11.6-inch laptop that is powered by an Intel Celeron processor and comes with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and up to 10 hours of battery life.

The ASUS VivoBook E203 has a slim 16.9mm profile, a footprint smaller than an A4 sheet, and features reversible USB Type-C (USB-C), one HDMI port, Bluetooth 4.1 and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The VivoBook E203 is weighing just 2.16 lbs.

The VivoBook E203 comes with Windows 10 S which is streamlined for security and performance that lasts over time, requiring that apps be delivered via the Windows Store.

The laptop has a full-size ergonomic keyboard with 1.6mm key trave. It also has a large touchpad similar in size to those used on 14-inch laptops. The touchpad supports the Windows Precision Touchpad (PTP) standard and incorporates palm-rejection technology plus support for multi-finger gestures for effortless navigation with Windows apps and other features.

The VivoBook E203 has an 11.6-inch HD display incorporating several ASUS technologies. ASUS Tru2Life Video enhances contrast by up to 150 percent; while ASUS Splendid provides accurate colors for any kind of visual content. The VivoBook E203 provides great audio, too, courtesy of ASUS SonicMaster technology.

The VivoBook E203 has a 180° hinge that enables users to lay it flat on the table. This hinge design has been subjected to a grueling 20,000-cycle open-close test.

The ASUS VivoBook E203 is immediately available at a MSRP of $229 USD from the ASUS Store and Amazon.
