Our ASUS X515 has an Intel Core i3-1005G1 CPU, a low-power processor designed for thin and light laptops. It can handle simple tasks like web browsing, video playback, and other general productivity workloads like text formatting. However, it isn't powerful enough for demanding tasks like video editing or 3D rendering. If you have a slightly heavier workload or tend to have multiple programs running simultaneously, you can upgrade to the Intel Core i5-1035G1 or i7-1065G7 for better performance, as they have double the number of cores and threads. The Intel Core i7-1065G7 is faster than the i5-1035G1 on paper, but the difference in performance is likely minimal due to thermal limitations.
