Asus VivoBook S400 With Windows 8

asus s400 Asus VivoBook S400 With Windows 8 Want to get all touchy-feely with the missus because you are feeling a bit frisky, but she is not quite up to your romantic advances? Well, good thing consumer electronics devices these days tend to come with touchscreen displays so that you can channel your frustrations over to them. Windows 8 is an operating system that supports a touchscreen user interface where possible, and the Asus VivoBook S400 has certainly been designed to live up to such a task.

Basically, the Asus VivoBook S400 is not a powerhouse notebook, but it does pack enough punch for those who want a touchscreen-enabled Windows 8 device without breaking the bank. Heck, the VivoBook S400 will not even break your back either, as it comes in a thin and lightweight configuration, where $699 or so will net you an Intel Core i3 1.8GHz dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, a 500GB SATA hard drive, a 3-cell battery, HD webcam, Bluetooth 4.0, an SD memory card reader, WiFi and HDMI connectivity, USB 3.0 support, and other relevant connectivity ports. Not too shabby at all, Asus.

ASUS announces three budget-friendly laptops with touchscreens, the VivoBook Q200, S400 and S500 (update: eyes-on)

Posted in: Today's Chili

Remember when Ultrabook prices dropped to around $700 and everyone cheered? Well, get ready for some one-upping: here at a New York City press event, ASUS just announced a line of lightweight, touchscreen laptops, and let’s just say the prices are pretty aggressive. The new family, which will carry the name VivoBook, includes 11-, 14- and 15-inch models, with the 11.6-inch Q200 (aka the X202) starting at $499 with a Core i3 processor. The 14-inch S400, meanwhile, will start at $599, while the 15-inch S500 will go for $649 and up. Across the board, there will be configurations with Core i5 and i7 processors, but again, i3 is the starting spec here. As you can see in the photo above, the design isn’t all that different from the current-gen Zenbook Prime family, though they lack some of that line’s higher-end features — namely, 1080p screens and solid-state storage. ASUS so far hasn’t said when these laptops will ship here in the US, but we’ll be sure to follow up with more specifics as we learn them.
