ASUS ViVoBook S500CA-DS51T 15.6-Inch Laptop ( Black ) - I Pick This One
Review : So far so Perfect!
Overall:
Fast, responsive, lightweight, solid.
Screen:
720p is off-putting after being used to 1080p or better. I overlook it because I knew those were the specs when I bought it.
The touchscreen aspect is solid, no lags, very responsive.
HDD:
Before I replaced the hard drive, I thought it was really fast. The use of the 24GB mSATA is key here. I don't think the ultrabook would be any use without it.
HDD upgrade to SSD:
And I thought the hybrid aspect was fast, this baby is blazing. 5 seconds or less to get this baby running, 5 seconds or less to shut down. I loaded Win 8 without all the bloatware, it's amazing. Very easy, the BIOS seems to have kept my Win8 license key, so the install of the OS was easy with a USB DVD drive.
6GB RAM:
Plenty of memory for what I need it for: browsers, word processing, pic/vid viewing, skype, eReader, etc. I might upgrade eventually, but so far so good. Windows OS handles...
