This device runs Intel Core i7 with 4GB RAM and honestly, it doesn’t feel any faster than a Core i5 rig for most of the common tasks. A full HD touchscreen, a backlit keyboard, Windows 8, and a thin form factor. Asus’ 3rd-generation ultrabook goes full-on Windows 8.
As for battery life, we were thoroughly impressed — we managed to get on WiFi with a full battery from 6PM until midnight with less than 10% left.
