I'm Dan Ackerman and we are here take a look at the asou vivo book X 202 e now of course that name doesn't really tell you anything about this system so I'll tell you that it is an 11 inch ultra portable Windows 8 laptop with most importantly a touchscreen because we're really at the point right now where every Windows 8 laptop really needs to have a touchscreen in order to be really usable now of course adding that touchscreen especially in the first wave of Windows 8 laptop somebody saw and at a considerable amount of the price some of the very first Windows 8 systems were $1300 $1600 certainly most of them were more than a thousand the nice thing about this guy right here is that it's five hundred and fifty dollars which is about as inexpensive as the as the biggest kind of drawer buster bargains we saw during the holiday 2012 season were so once you get a touchscreen Windows 8 system down under $600 then it becomes obvious that everybody can have a touchscreen and everyone can really enjoy the best parts of Windows 8 now there is a compromise to be made that compromised in this case is that you have an intel core i3 processor rather than the much more common core i5 or even core i7 that you have in the more expensive systems now is that a big step down what kind of miss performance wise you do have to take into account what you want to do with the system if you're gonna be web surfing social networking watching video maybe just doing one task or two tasks at a time you probably won't notice that much of a difference if you're gonna be doing a lot of stuff really intense stuff you want to do some gaming then this may not be the laptop for you but with an 11 inch screen it's fairly portable it's a little bit thick and chunky and heavy for an 11 inch laptop everyone so ultrabook obsessed these days but it's still very reasonably sized the construction actually comes off fairly well for a budget laptop a mix of metal and plastic decent design the keyboard a little bit on the small side but the typing was actually fairly good I like that the Shift + Enter and other keys like that are very large I was not a big fan however of the touchpad is bigger than is just just enough lack of responsiveness to really be annoying especially when you're used to really good touch pads that you find in act books and even a lot of Windows PCs these but if you take into account that this is one of the least expensive touchscreen and Windows 8 systems that you can get right now certainly worth these compromises if Portability and price is what is most important to you I'm Dan Ackerman and that is the isuzu Viva book X - OH - E
