I don’t even know the way I stopped up right here, but I assumed this put up was great. I don’t realize who you’re but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger
if you happen to aren’t already. Cheers!
kris says:
would there be a huge difference between the Asus Vivobook X202E Celeron B847 processor compared to the Intel Pentium 987 na processor? And please do advise kung alin na yung available sa PH. Hard to tell dahil pare-parehas istura, iba ibang price. hehe. Reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Kanz says:
Mag-iisang buwan na mula ng malaunch, hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong makitang S400 sa mga malls. Sana bago man lang magpasko, meron na. And by the way, it has bluetooth v4.0 “daw”.
Ric says:
Complink SM North EDSA has a few units of the Asus Vivobook S400 now available. This unit has a core i5 cpu, 500 GB Sata + 24 GB SSD, 14 ” display. Sells at 35,995, 0% for 12 months (as indicated by Asus previously).
Still no X202E with Core i3. They say maybe this Sunday or the coming week.
Whew says:
Re: X202E
Is there a significant difference between
Intel Core i3 3217U Ivy Bridge and
ULV Celeron …
Thanks….
Mukhang ibang version yung na-review ni sir Yuga,
I fell in love with X202E na agad, kaso mukhang ibang version yung available dito sa Pinas. Please enlighten me…
Thanks.
Ric says:
Meron nang X202E na ULV Celeron ang processor sa Villman, ayon sa website nila. P20,988 payable in 6 months.

The unit it self is cool to look at, just like a “macbook” the touchscreen panel is very responsive and it is very light to carry around.
It is a value for money :)
PS: masakit lng sa ulo ang windows 8 at 1st but enjoy cya pagaralan.
UserName says:
I already have this cool unit :) , medyo nakakapanibago lng ng feeling ang windows 8. Enjoy pagaralan hahah…
Jay says:
Which of the three laptops do you have and where did you buy it?
Harold says:
Kagagaling ko lang ng asus concept store sa sm north kanina. Wala pa din daw silang vivobook at zenbook touch. Actually parang wala ngang idea yung sales rep nila sa mga new products nila @.@
Benj says:
Will the legacy Windows programs run on X202e? If not, can we dual boot it with Windows 7? Expert reply will be appreciated, thanks!
Leo Chase says:
yes. win 8 can run those apps that run on win 7…
Yami says:
Medyo confusing lang about sa bluetooth ng s400. Pumunta ako sa ibang sites to learn more, may nagsabing wala daw to’ng bluetooth, pero may nagsabing meron daw – 4.0. Ok lang naman sakin alang bluetooth pero syempre mas maganda pag meron. I think magkakaron ako neto sa christmas (sana).
John says:
walang bluetooth to
alfred says:
wala pa sa megamall cyberzone, i asked kanina. around 3rd week of nov pa daw magkaron. so saang shops na ba pwedeng makita ang x202e?
John says:
try mo sm north or gilmore
Rob says:
Been wanting that Zenbook Touch since it was introduced months ago! :( Why so expensive?? :(
Dann Rubio says:
Because specs-wise, the Zenbook series is touted to be the Macbook killer. And it is, in all aspects. It’s just that for an additional PhP 5~6K, you can get the equivalent Macbook with the same specs (It’s all about the branding, bro!)
Jay says:
the UX31A has sweet specs! too bad it’s priced way above my means. the S400 would’ve been perfect but the 1366 x 768 rez is kinda disappointing but not bad for 35995. Decisions decisions.
Noel says:
I agree with Jay. I have a 14″ laptop with a 1366×768 display and it leaves a lot to be desired, even when just viewing photos. But for P36K I think this laptop is a very good deal already.
John says:
kailan pa naging pangit ang 1366 x 768
zzzzz
Ale-alejandro says:
14″ for 36k, wow. Sapat na sakin configuration nia. Mukhang bibili nako nyan. Pero inaantay ko pa si pareng Toshiba.
inori says:
If Asus were to release a quad-core AMD A8 version of these laptops, I’ll buy it without a second. I just want to have a powerful laptop (quad core + discrete class graphics)for cheap!
AMD definitely deserves some love in their efforts in making performance more accessible at a low price.
Enya says:
36k for a Win8 core i5 notebook. so similarly spec’d win8 tablets would be south of 50k when they arrive!
edisson says:
So 11″ is too small. Thank God Asus released 14.1″ laptop though it will look small to my sister’s 15″ toshiba.
