Elegant White is the perfect choice for someone who wants an understated device that adds a dash 
of style, while Urban Red is great for the student who likes their notebook to stand out from the 
crowd.  

As you pick it up, you’ll also notice its light weight – it’s just 1.68kg – and its slim profile. The E402 is 
just 2.19cm thick and the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which means it will fit into your bag and can 
easily be carried with you all day..  

 

 

Great performance 

The E402 might be priced for great affordability, but ASUS hasn’t skimped on components. At the 
heart of your laptop is one of Intel’s latest processors: the Braswell family of CPUs. The E402 comes 
with a choice of three processors: 

 

Intel® Pentium® N3700  

 

Intel® Celeron® N3150  

 

Intel® Celeron® N3050
