The good: An attractive design, solid specs, and a responsive touch screen in a sub-$700 price.
The bad: Bigger and heavier than most ultrabooks; no extra added graphics or DVD drive; screen isn’t full-HD.
The bottom line: The VivoBook S500CA offers a big-screened touch-screen Windows 8 laptop for a bargain price -- and without many extras.
