Considerations & Notes

• The N100 is a low‑power processor — suitable for productivity, web, media tasks, but not for heavy 3D rendering or demanding gaming
• Integrated graphics share system memory — performance depends on how much RAM you allocate and install
• To maximize performance, upgrading to 16 GB RAM is recommended for multitasking
• Ensure good ventilation around the unit to avoid heat accumulation in tighter spaces
