Oh, man. I just spent the money on a refurbished hp folio 13 for the same price. I could not imagine the touchscreen laptop's price could come down so quickly.
I bought this one at BB on black Friday, pretty good, IMO, any Win8 pc without touch screen is just not practical to use, Win8 is for touch screen. you don't really need i7 or i5 for a netbook or tablet or ultrabook like this. This one is fast and light, if you can live without a optical drive like I do, this one is pretty good deal, although I am still getting used to Win8 interface, so far so good...

Pros: Attractive design; Responsive touch-screen display; Includes 32GB of free cloud storage
Cons: Short battery life; Poor graphics performance
The Verdict: The ASUS VivoBook X202E-DH31T is pretty cheap for a touch-screen Windows 8 machine, but this ultraportable lacks staying power.
2 cell battery is really not enough. My folio 13 got 6 cell but of course it's 0.5lb heavier than the Vivobook.
