Asus Vivobook X202E is a touch-screen Windows 8 laptop for budget laptop buyers which looks and feels more like a high-end ultrabook. This Asus laptop is perfect for those who want to experience the touch capability of a Windows 8 tablet but also don’t want to leave behind the standard laptop functionality. Now most of the touchscreen ultrabooks range starts from $1000 even with the ones powered by slower CPU. Considering these high priced ultrabooks, The Asus VivoBook X202E-DH31T ultrabook is an affordable alternative to other touch ultrabooks priced at just under $450.
If you like your Windows tablet you would be glad to hear that the X202E-DH31T is equipped with a compelling 11.6-inch capacitive touch screen with features like 10-finger tracking and Windows 8 gestures. The 11.6-inch display offers a resolution of 1,366-by-768 which seems good enough for fine web browsing or working on documents.
The Vivobook X202e ultrabook is powered by Intel Core i3 3217U Ivy Bridge processor running at 1.8GHz. Performance wise this Ivy Bridge processor combined with 4GB of RAM and Intel HD 4000 graphics should be able to provide good performance for both day to day work and multimedia. However like others ultrabooks it doesnt include solid-state drive which I think is one of the main requisites of the ultrabook category and it wont be able to provide performance and faster wake times compared to ultrabooks which sports a SSD. But you can always add solid-state drives (SSDs) for even better and faster performance.
The X202E-DH31T comes with fairly good connectivity features like two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port with HDMI outputs and built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi . Other features include a 2-in-1 card reader, Bluetooth 4.0 and 0.3MP webcam. The X202E-DH31T is outfitted with a 500GB hard drive, which for sure is fairly decent amount of storage space.

The X202E-DH31T measuring 0.8 by 11.9 by 7.9 inches and weighing at just 2.9 pounds is slim and ultraportable compared to other high priced ultrabooks. Many buyers have reported that The X202e provides between 3 to 5 hours of battery life depending on your usage which is exactly what Asus promises. If you are using this laptop on battery backup while using WiFi for web browsing, watching YouTube videos, and working on documents, it can provide a little over 4 hours of battery life which I think is good for an ultrabook in this price range.
