Review Asus VivoBook S400CA Ultrabook

Windows 8 Book. The VivoBook S400CA provides the ideal symbiosis for Windows 8: Conventional notebook and touchscreen combined. This allows traditional programs and apps in the tiled layout to both be used as they were intended. The question is whether...

Only one USB 3.0 port ; Reflective display with low brightness ; Difficult to upgrade

Asus VivoBook S400CA

Windows 8 may have one foot solidly planted in the future, but in the present it needs to be a reliable OS for everyday computers, too. While Macs are pricier, Windows PCs have always been what to look at if you're on a budget: this Asus VivoBook...

The Asus VivoBook S400CA is a reasonably priced 14-inch laptop with a touch screen, and a solid, mostly metal body.

An uncomfortably mushy keyboard, a lower-resolution display, and unimpressive battery life make this laptop feel like a series of compromises.

You get a decent 14-inch laptop package in the Asus VivoBook, especially given that it has a touch screen, but it doesn't add up to anything particularly impressive that you can't get elsewhere either with better design or for a lower price.

THE GOOD sleek, solid built, decent keyboard and trackpad, snappy, comes with a touchscreen, fair price

"Look below to see Summary"

Let me state this clearly, no ultrabook seems to have it all, at least not right for everyone. Some have touchscreens, some backlit keyboards, some optical drives or SSD drives. Keeping that in mind, some features are worth more than others for people...

Awesome product for the money

Replaced my Samsung Tab 2 10.1 as I'm not a fan of Apps, as most don't take you to a full featured program. Not a fan of Windows 8 yet, but have found work arounds to make it bearable. The Ultrabook was the ideal replacement as it was small,...

Great Laptop

This laptop is fast, compact and quality-made. The 10 point touchscreen in Windows 8 is pretty cool. The screen size is bigger than most ultrabooks which is really nice. It has the highest quality chicklet keyboard I've ever used. It uses the...

Nice Ultrabook

This is a nice ultrabook, with easy to read screen and as I get used to Win 8 kind of like it. I did add 4gb RAM from crucial which has helped the speed a bit.
