ASUS 15.6' Touch Screen Laptop Intel Core i3 4GB 750GB Win 8.1

Product Overview The elegant Asus VivoBook X550CA 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop in dark grey gives you a hands-on way to enjoy computing every day.

Windows 8 is built for touch

Optimised for touch, Windows 8 puts your favourite apps and programmes at your finger tips.

Simply touch a programme tile to open it and move around using taps, swipes and pinches. It only takes a moment to pick up and is already second nature if you use a smartphone or tablet.

The home screen is built around Live Tiles. These programme icons display real time information from all your favourite apps including social networking, emails, news and sports directly on the home screen. You don't even have to open the programme to receive important info and notifications.

Completely connected laptop

The Asus X550CA-CJ296H Touchscreen X-Series Laptop is equipped with all manner of connectivity options to keep you going. Get online quickly and easily using its built-in WiFi facility, and connect with compatible devices for smooth data transfer thanks to the inclusion of Bluetooth 4.0.

Two USB 2.0 ports allow you to hook up peripherals such as memory sticks, external hard drive and graphics tablets, while a USB 3.0 port provides super-fast connectivity and data transfer rates up to 10 times faster than those of USB 2.0. Copy and back up all your files in seconds and forget about waiting around - a 25 GB Blu-ray-quality movie can be transferred in 70 seconds.

An HDMI port facilitates connection with a compatible HD TV or monitor to expand your view, and there's also a VGA (D-Sub) port for this purpose.

Classic computing

Typing is solid, reliable and comfortable on the Asus X550CA with its back-assembled, seamless one-piece keyboard that prevents key float for better accuracy. Keys are evenly spaced, and each key has been individually tuned to Asus's Golden Ratio of keyboard force and stroke to make them more responsive. Type for longer without fatigue.

Its large touchpad is equipped with Smart Gesture technology that gives you rapid and precise response for a wide range of touch inputs including pinch-zoom, drag-and-drop, and multi-finger page manipulation.

The dark grey Asus VivoBook X550CA 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop gives you fantastic computing power in a timeless, classy design.
Windows 8 is Cloud ready, letting you choose to back up your information online. Not only is this a good idea for preserving important files, photos and documents, it allows you to access them from any online Windows 8 device. Simply log in using an email address to access all your documents and files, organised just how you left them.

There are improvements coming too, with the launch of the free Windows 8.1 update. These include the reintroduction of the Start button, new Live Tile sizes and adjustable four-way multitasking windows along with developments to the lock screen, search and more.

Interact directly with your screen

Offering support for 10-finger touch functionality, the Asus X-Series X550CA allows you to really get involved when you use your computer. Take advantage of the fluidly intuitive Windows 8 interface as you swipe, tap and pinch your way around the live tiles and other apps.

The laptop's 15.6” LED display offers vibrant colours and great definition with an HD resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It's back-lit for enhanced contrast, and anti-glare treatment makes for more comfortable and efficient computing in a variety of lighting conditions.

With Exclusive Splendid technology you'll experience vibrant visuals that complement any media standards. The display is fine-tuned according to the application being used. Colour gamut and detail accuracy are optimised for the most pristine and compelling image quality possible, whether you're watching movies, looking at photos or just browsing the web.

There are also four modes to suit different viewing environments, so choose according to where you're sitting. Features Manufacturer:ASUS
