networking partner is linkis number one is the Zenbook touch so this is a full HD Zenbook it's running Windows 8 it is touch enabled I I I love Windows 8 with touch Windows 8 without touch isn't as good of an experience in my opinion and there's a couple things that were challenging for implementing touchscreen notebooks especially at the beginning number one is it does add some thickness and you have to meet that specification from Intel in terms of the overall thickness of the unit so let's just sort of there goes my phone let's just go through and validate sort of okay is it still super

means he's got it another Super Speed usb3 headphones and SD card at the back you find nothing very very very clean overall design they've maintained that they have added a multi-touch pad so here we go now we can use the Ultrabook the way that it truly is meant to be used because at desktops the screen's too far away to really to really touch it all the time but with an Ultrabook now you can carry it around like this you can sort of click away on it like this you can touch it when that's appropriate so you can you know go look at the weather and you you can basically you can use it however you want I wouldn't personally buy an Ultrabook without touch so if you're looking for Zenbook it's going to be worth the extra couple bucks pick up the Zenbook touch what kind of specs do we have available with it Core I5 or core i7 13.3 in for this particular guy and as always it's running Intel HD graphics it's pretty hard to put like a you know GTX 680 and something like a touch
