60% ASUS Q200 Review
Source: Laptop Mag
For a sub-$500 ultraportable laptop, the ASUS Q200 has a lot of premium features, from its 10-point touch screen to its superior Sonic Master audio. However, we wish the notebook provided more endurance and a more comfortable typing experience. If you need longer battery life and a larger keyboard in this price range and don't need touch, consider the $549 Toshiba Satellite P845-S4200.

If you really want a touchscreen to make the most of the Windows 8 operating system, it is hard to find a better value than the ASUS VivoBook Q200E. The system does sacrifice a number of features and performance to include the touschreen feature but these are quite acceptable for many buyers. Performance is on par with a budget laptop but it falls short of low cost ultrabooks especially when battery life is considered.

Asus reviews

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i3:

2365M: Power efficient ULV processor clocked at 1.4 GHz without Turbo boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 1000 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller. The difference to the similar Core i3-2367M is just the Small Business Advantage (SBA) support (needed for the Ultrabook logo).

3217U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.8 GHz (no Turbo Boost) and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.
