Asus S400CA

I'm typing from my mother-in-law's ultrabook. As weird as it sounds I do not have a notebook, just my loyal PC ready for gaming. I'm on a Windows 8 and I have fearless decided to use it for a while being surprised and annoyed almost equally. I have also decided to put a little shrine dedicated to the start button. Sniff.

Has an appearance like the Macbook Pro but with Windows and a touchscreen

So.. Here are the specs:

• i3, third generation
• 4 GB of RAM
• Touchscreen

If you want more specs you can visit the website. The ultrabook is neat although I really don't like the feel when I type. Its kind of like a keyboard that has dust, bread and other what nots under it. Aside from that I really like the touchscreen and I use it a lot. I have never been a true fan of the mouse, being used to use as many shortcuts as I can. I feel it rather clumsy unlike the touchscreen which allows me to click exactly what I want very quickly. When the brightness is at maximum the colours seem to washed out but the resolution but I guess you won't need that much brightness unless you're are the beach. Its also pretty light and easy to carry around.

Now, here comes the thing that kinda punched me on the neck (since it was me the one that went with her to buy the ultrabook)

The. Touchpad.

It was neat, it was gorgeus and it was pretty amazing. But underneath its silver colour there's evil. Let's begin describing whats good with it. You can click anywhere through its area without having to use two fingers which is very comfortable. The trackpad is one whole thing that its not separated by the click buttons.
Problem is that after a week or so of use it has a mild elevation on its center. Now I'd like to take a photo of it, but tragedy dictates that I lack my smartphone. My mother-in-law doesn't mind it and I'm sure the warrant would cover it.

Trackpad is not flat, see for yourself (if you can spot it)

Aside from that I got scared when we were just unpacking it. Windows was slow at everything but after a few boots it was fast again. Seems Windows 8 takes a bit to index and do its evil deeds until it decided it has manifest its shadows through the hard drive. After all, what kind of devil would create a Windows without a Start Button?
