Looks a good spec, good make.
5h battery not brilliant but no doubt will do.
Not sure about touch screen though. You know the problem of finger marks by now, do you want those fingerprints on a laptop.
You could spend half as much and get the same computing power and since it's for a MH that's half as much grief if it gets dropped or stolen.

[HI]I'm a fan of Dell machines Ken[/HI]. These are similar spec and cheaper http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15r-5521/pd.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

Asus are good machines.
As I posted Broken Link Removed the other day on Soggy's thread I've had one of the same overall family for nearly a year and been very pleased with it. I very rarely use the touch screen as I prefer the keyboard and mobile mouse but there wasn't an option to have the machine without it - makes no odds really.
The HP laptop I use at home has a Core i5-3210M processor and is plenty fast enough, but so is the i3 processor in the Vivobook.
I've always liked Acer laptops as well (they used to build the Thinkpads for IBM). If you don't need such a large hard drive and memory (adding extra memory is normally easy) then you might consider the Acer Aspire E1-570 or the HP Pavilion 15-e078sa which are a fair bit cheaper.
If I'm looking for a new machine I normally go into PC World and play with the display models to compare them.

I am impressed by the spec Ken.
Looks good to me...
8 gigs of RAM !
I've only got 3 on my phablet.
[HI]What's Windows 8 like?[/HI]

Also I want one with an optical drive for installing my software without farting about with a separate unit.

I always check to see if I can get what I want from [HI]John Lewis[/HI] - 'never knowingly undersold' + an extra year's warranty on computer hardware at no extra charge + great customer service - any problems or not happy with the item, they'll always sort it out. :thumb:
[HI]I'd pay a pound or two more if necessary[/HI], for the extra peace of mind. But, as I said, depends if they stock what you want.
Can buy in store or online.

Very good point Mike, but without wishing to steal Ken's thread I am still using XP as when I had this desktop built I wasn't to sure of windows 7 and ordered the older O/Sys.
JJ has already mentioned it but how good is Win 8 or what does it do that my old XP doesn't?
I'm using Microsoft Essentials and they have announced that they won't do anymore updates for XP so might want to change........Griff
Looks a decent machine but I would say spend a bit more and get yourself an Apple Macbook Air. I have the 11.5 version and I think its' the dogs ..... in terms of build quality speed software etc nothing have had previously can touch it. That includes Acer, Assus and HP. The Apple product will outlast them all. Mine is in daily use, still pristine and has never put a foot wrong.
It's expensive but you do get what you pay for and if you have an iPhone, there really is no substitute.
