Asus has released a new thin and light notebook in the Philippines, the Asus A46CA-WX048. The Asus A46CA is a 14-inch Windows 8 notebook which comes in a case just 0.8-inches thick and just over 4 pounds in weight. It is powered by an Intel Core i3 3127U processor, 2 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. It comes with all the other things you expect from a current laptop these days, like Bluetooth, HDMI out and USB 3.0. This laptop also includes a slowly disappearing feature, an optical drive.
It is priced fairly enough at Php26,900, and except for the keyboard actually looks like a more expensive laptop.
At this price range, it main competition in the market is the HP Pavilion Sleekbook14-B023TU which is priced at Php27,990. The HP Pavilion Sleekbook14-B023TU does not come with an operating system or optical drive and is 1K more expensive, while being equipped with the same processor, and same amount of RAM and storage.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's competitive pricing for a Windows 8 machine! But, does it come with a touchscreen? It would be a disappointment if it didn't ...
