ASUS VivoBook F Series Specifications ~ Tech Lining

Express your individuality with the new ASUS VivoBook F Series by choosing from a diverse range of colors.

ASUS products embody the spirit of customer happiness and life enrichment. Vivo is Latin for "to live". The VivoBook philosophy looks to today's mobile computing era. The ASUS VivoBook F Series is an everyday touch notebook blessed with ASUS's technological expertise and design. ASUS VivoBook F Series keeps users connected and in touch with the world through a unique Windows 8 experience.

First off you’ll find the VivoBook F series of laptops come in four different colours, which makes a nice change from either black or white as is offered by most people. The blue and red are not excessive, but I have to say that the blue is particularly fetching. That is such a vivid and cheerful colour!

Of course, as they fit into the ultraportable market they are very light and have been designed to snap closed into a chic and very slim device, quick to slip into the nearest bag or laptop carrier. I’ve managed to get one of these into my handbag and I do not own the most capacious of bags…

The 2-Second Instant On is no small and boring feature, obviously, and can be a real plus when you’re in a bind or have limited time to check your information. There are few things as tedious as having to wait for your computer to laboriously boot up, especially if you’re in a rush. You won’t get that here, my friend, oh no…

Alongside a very thin and responsive keyboard that has plenty of key spacing to prevent that fat-finger thump of three keys at once (I really hate that), you get the multi-touch display so you can eke the most out of the Windows 8 design. That operating system really does need a touchscreen to get the highest levels of performance and with the ASUS VivoBook F series, you pretty much can.

Then you get the Smart Gesture Technology that gets what you’re trying to do and makes your life easier. I think I need to do an entire post on that feature as it’s a winner. Not to be outdone by a mere keypad, the audio is supported by SonicMaster Technology which is always a winner.
