    I have the Asus Vivobook 14.1", best choice I ever made. For anytime I ever needed a CD, such as burning disks, installing some software that only comes in CDs, or some of my old DVDs, I just bought an external optical drive for 40 bucks, does the job wonderfully and it takes off the extra weight from my computer! Touch screen is awesome, material and casing is galore

    Just bought the 11.6", i3 version of this and I love it. Build quality is amazing for the money. Not sure if Linus mentioned it but I found that the track pad is also outstanding.

    VGA is yesterday however, that being said most business users appreciate the addition of VGA for connections for devices such as a projector in a meeting, it adds flexibility and is nice to see! :)

    Hey Linus, coming to Canada in August 2014. Need to buy an ULTRABOOK, could you please suggest me a good one. within CAD $1000 - $1200. Please suggest.

  • @KillerUnicorn586

    Linus said that many offices and boardrooms are still using old VGA monitors/projectors and since ultrabooks are for business people primarily it is quite helpful

    The ASUS SonicMaster audio is AMAZING! Hands down, I've never heard computer audio sound so good right out of the box, without having to use separate external audio components. I normally use high-end audiophile gear to play music from a pc, like USB to SPDIF convertors or USB DAC's with a tube headphone amp for listening to music with headphones .....so I'm very picky when it comes to the sound quality. I just got the this laptop a couple days ago and the first time I plugged in my Grado headphones directly into the stereo jack I was blown away at how good it sounded.

    this is my laptop! I bought it at RM1990. I LIKE IT! but theres some issue in this laptop I faced.
    1. the battery can stand in a short time around 2 hours and could be less if open many software. (I already knew it)
    2. Sometimes the shutdown process take very long time until the light of the icon at the laptop turn off.
    3. The start up and shutdown can sometimes very fast and sometimes quite slow and sometimes not responding! (but mostly fast)
    the touchscreen works good on metro windows 8.1 (no lag at all) (make sure u put a screen protector on the screen, u may scratch it)
    it run good at my windows 8.1. overall I give 8/10.

    VGA is almost everywhere and not everything has HDMI. That's a selling point for me. Not all my friends have High Definition devices and it does come in handy.

  • @JamesAColemanFan
    @JamesAColemanFan 11 років тому

    I think Linus means from an advertising standpoint. A lot of people see oh cool a touch screen, so its a must from a corporate side if you want to give it an edge especially in the mid range market

  • @HitMarkersAreFun
    @HitMarkersAreFun 11 років тому

    that notebook is very sleek looking. If I was ever looking for a notebook just to do work and whatever else on, but no gaming, that notebook is definitely one I'd consider

  • @skaterdude1998
    @skaterdude1998 11 років тому

    The internals probably costed asus barely anything. The thing they probably spent the most on in this notebook is the shell which is VERY well made.
    Also, do you know when the 900d is coming out, Linus? Or is that under NDA?

    Linus, Does the notebook have a removable battery? I didn't see any kind of battery compartment in the video so I'm guessing its inbuilt.

  • @njdss4

    Does the fact that it's a touchscreen help offset the track pad? I've never had a touchscreen computer before.

    As much as I like my 11" Macbook Air, I've got to say it takes the fucking piss how Apple didn't think of adding in a little Kensington slot. It's not like it's a prime target for theft or anything. Well done, ASUS.

  • @37061044
    @37061044 11 років тому

    Linus, you said you still like to see the vga plug, why? there are so many more better options and now everything comes with more then a vga socket on the back. I think a laptop user is fine with any of the new technology instead of vga.

    @AlexPotvin 11 років тому

    I just find it ironic how I've been having the best experience with HP lately in contrast to my now 7 years experience with Asus. I mean, ironic in the sense that you wouldn't expect it... At least, I didn't.
    We had a 2 year old laptop that got its ass handed to it by a BIOS update and they fixed it out of warranty, as well as repair damages. 2 way shipping and everything. I swear it's like I was dealing with a smaller manufacturer.

    ASUS actually will not cover two way shipping on any of their value oriented notebooks. They expect the customer to pay $100 for shipping both to and from the manufacturer. Just as a heads up to everyone who thinks this is such a great deal. It really isn't. Speaking as someone who sells these on a daily basis, my customers constantly come back and complain about the false advertising on the side of the box.

    Just wondering what the cooling is like as i am looking for a laptop that can handle some modern gaming.
    £700 is my MAX budget any recomendations, I'm not fussed about 1080p or a touch screen I just want one with some umph and decent ventilation

    Why on Earth is a touch screen a must on a notebook these days? Exactly how many times do you find using a touchscreen more productive than a mouse/keyboard? How about the whole thing of having to clean your monitor much more frequently?
