Conclusion: We're mixed
TheVivoBook X202 is one of the least expensive Windows 8 touchscreen laptops currently available, and the compromises made to keep its price down show in its performance, battery life, and overall build quality. PC Mag says the X202 offers "mediocre performance," but is "cheap and usable, if not as portable and powerful as leading systems." Liliputing says that it's a "pretty decent laptop" for its price, though "the touchscreen wobbles, the touchpad isn’t quite as reliable as it could be, and the notebook doesn’t exactly offer all-day battery life." Liliputing's advice: If you "don't go expecting too much," it could be worth considering.

Read the full review →Despite its flaws, though, we really like this laptop. Asus' VivoBook S200E is compact, attractive and cheap, a combination Ultrabooks have so far abjectly failed to deliver.
Read the full review →Inside the VivoBook X202E's pleasing exterior with its varied connectivity hides a computer with too low processing power to compete with ultrabooks and other laptops that carry an Intel Core i3. The X202E is more comparable to a netbook with a small battery and a mediocre display.

This notebook PC is extremely satisfying. It's my dad's, actually, and he's enjoying every minute of usage. Almost everything with this computer is great: the design, the display, the expandability, the portability, the noise (or rather lack there of), the keyboard and trackpad, and maybe most...

I wanted a new notebook to replace my aging Dell Inspiron 11z ( mostly because of the 2GB memory limitation this one slot DDR2 notebook has ). I know that with Windows 8 announced, I want a touch enabled notebook or tablet. There is an Acer W510 and Samsung ATIV in the market but all of them come...
