d updated article which now mentions i5 7th gen, SSD, 8gb ram, 940mx and fingerprint reader for d VivoBook S already justifies d 45k price. ds is now a better buy to my other choice, dell 7460.
upcoming hp envy 13 2017 edition wd nvidia mx150 (they say it is a mobile GT1030) will be VivoBook S’ fierce competitor. i hope hp brings d variant wd touchscreen.
