Asus Vivobook S400!!!!
edisson says:
So 11″ is too small. Thank God Asus released 14.1″ laptop though it will look small to my sister’s 15″ toshiba.
Enya says:
36k for a Win8 core i5 notebook. so similarly spec’d win8 tablets would be south of 50k when they arrive!
inori says:
If Asus were to release a quad-core AMD A8 version of these laptops, I’ll buy it without a second. I just want to have a powerful laptop (quad core + discrete class graphics)for cheap!
AMD definitely deserves some love in their efforts in making performance more accessible at a low price.
Ale-alejandro says:
14″ for 36k, wow. Sapat na sakin configuration nia. Mukhang bibili nako nyan. Pero inaantay ko pa si pareng Toshiba.
Jay says:
the UX31A has sweet specs! too bad it’s priced way above my means. the S400 would’ve been perfect but the 1366 x 768 rez is kinda disappointing but not bad for 35995. Decisions decisions.
Rob says:
Been wanting that Zenbook Touch since it was introduced months ago! :( Why so expensive?? :(
alfred says:
wala pa sa megamall cyberzone, i asked kanina. around 3rd week of nov pa daw magkaron. so saang shops na ba pwedeng makita ang x202e?
Yami says:
Medyo confusing lang about sa bluetooth ng s400. Pumunta ako sa ibang sites to learn more, may nagsabing wala daw to’ng bluetooth, pero may nagsabing meron daw – 4.0. Ok lang naman sakin alang bluetooth pero syempre mas maganda pag meron. I think magkakaron ako neto sa christmas (sana).
Benj says:
Will the legacy Windows programs run on X202e? If not, can we dual boot it with Windows 7? Expert reply will be appreciated, thanks!
Harold says:
Kagagaling ko lang ng asus concept store sa sm north kanina. Wala pa din daw silang vivobook at zenbook touch. Actually parang wala ngang idea yung sales rep nila sa mga new products nila @.@
UserName says:
I already have this cool unit :) , medyo nakakapanibago lng ng feeling ang windows 8. Enjoy pagaralan hahah…
UserName says:
I have the 14′ Asus S400 with a 8GB DDR3 RAM, i buy it in Singapore last week.
The unit it self is cool to look at, just like a “macbook” the touchscreen panel is very responsive and it is very light to carry around.
It is a value for money :)
PS: masakit lng sa ulo ang windows 8 at 1st but enjoy cya pagaralan.

Whew says:
Re: X202E
Is there a significant difference between
Intel Core i3 3217U Ivy Bridge and
ULV Celeron …
Thanks….
Mukhang ibang version yung na-review ni sir Yuga,
I fell in love with X202E na agad, kaso mukhang ibang version yung available dito sa Pinas. Please enlighten me…
Thanks.
Ric says:
Complink SM North EDSA has a few units of the Asus Vivobook S400 now available. This unit has a core i5 cpu, 500 GB Sata + 24 GB SSD, 14 ” display. Sells at 35,995, 0% for 12 months (as indicated by Asus previously).
Still no X202E with Core i3. They say maybe this Sunday or the coming week.
Kanz says:
Mag-iisang buwan na mula ng malaunch, hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong makitang S400 sa mga malls. Sana bago man lang magpasko, meron na. And by the way, it has bluetooth v4.0 “daw”.
kris says:
would there be a huge difference between the Asus Vivobook X202E Celeron B847 processor compared to the Intel Pentium 987 na processor? And please do advise kung alin na yung available sa PH. Hard to tell dahil pare-parehas istura, iba ibang price. hehe. Reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I don’t even know the way I stopped up right here, but I assumed this put up was great. I don’t realize who you’re but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger
if you happen to aren’t already. Cheers!
