    Asus? Your "balla" status has been downgraded.

    I'm not really a computer geek and don't know the good brands. The guys at Best Buy sold me on it being a good product. So far I'm pretty happy.

    I want something that has a touch screen, but not limited to it.

    Is this the one running Windows 8? It does look neat. And among the shit brands, Asus is the best.

    Asus is by far the best combination of performance and affordability.

    Is that because this is something that would replace all your other PCs or is this in addition to what you already have?

    Adding to my collection.

    I want something light that I can fudge around with while I'm watching TV.

    Why? Are you collecting more inventory of my personal life so you can mock me for it in the near future?

    If hurting your feelings cured cancer, would you let the world torment you? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

    I've never had a laptop or tablet in my life, only desktop PCs for me.

    Cheers. I look at it like this (and yeah, it's kind of stolen from Steve Jobs but it totally works as a loose allegory): Desktops are like big trucks, laptops are like sedans/coupes of various sizes, tablets are like motorcycles of various sizes, and smartphones are like scooters.

    I have one as well, the little 11.6'' model?

    It is a fantastic piece of hardware for the price. You basically get a full PC with touch screen, tons of disk space and memory for the price of an iPad.

    I almost never use my iPad anymore now that I have this little machine, but I will probably give it to my daughter soon and get something with more RAM (Maybe a Dell XPS12).

    So, I can't get firstrowsports.eu to work. Its saying that I need to download Ilivid? Is that safe to download? I don't remember downloading anything on my desktop to get firstrow to work. I just had firefox. But, I have firefox on this now and it still won't work.

    I wanna get my illegal sports streams dammit!

    Don't download. Just wait a minute and if there's no sound of a game, try a different stream. When you get sound, try to go full screen to cover up ads. I just poke around till I succeed, which may take the whole 1st quarter.

    Microsoft Surface is now at Best Buy and Staples.
