The biggest trend in laptops right now is the move from traditional laptops to touch-centric tablets and convertible designs. For those who want to get the touch capability needed to make the most of Windows 8, but don't want to leave behind the standard laptop design, there are touch-enabled laptops, like the Asus VivoBook X202E-DH31T. While there are plenty of new touch laptops on the market now, not all of them are affordable, but this laptop's price tag puts it in a reasonable price range. You may lose some of the performance and battery life offered by more expensive options, but the affordability makes up some of the difference.
Asus has long been a leader at taking lower-end machines and making them look more expensive than they are. You can see the influence of high-end laptops, such as the Asus Zenbook series, in this model, which is tagged with the VivoBook name (a name you're unlikely to ever hear anyone walk into a retail store and ask for). The back of the lid has a brushed-metal top layer, with other metal accents throughout, although there's more plastic on the body than you'd find in a more expensive laptop.

Now you may think: why should I get a notebook with touch screen capabilities?... Well, at first I thought about this as well, and only 2 things that I could think of changed my mind. One is that it has Windows 8, and Metro is designed for touch (no problem with mouse, but you will experience a better feeling using the touch screen) And the second one is the price, its the cheapest one out there which also has touch (and I said "why not then...") And I'll say that I'm not a real lover of touch screen devices, but I'm totally happy that I picked this one out.
