No. You want a full sized laptop or desktop for gaming, depending on what you do. Can you do current games on mid to low graphics? Yeah, but if your all about gaming then I would recommend looking it a laptop that is designed for it.

It's not available yet. Supposed to be released late June

The integrated video card is improved in ivy bridge line, but still can't handle high demanding games. Medium adjustments would be ok for some games (e.g. diablo 3).
Im concerned w/ the heat produced inside the machine upon prolonged use.

Assuming the HD 4000 on the mobile chip is the same as it on the desktop chip, it'll run it fine on low EXCEPT you'll get lighting issues that are extremely annoying. Don't get this for BF3.

Is it touch cos I don't like touch for a laptop. Now, I can't find this model anymore. I don't know why. Every time I search, they offer me Zenbook Prime Touch ux31a which I don't want.

[WorBlux]

[MrBojsane]

whats the keyboard like, the previous model had a bad keyboard, please compare the keyboard to macbook airs

[singo]

Do we know how long the battery lasts when in use?

[bogdanbackup]

The specs say it has an "anti-glare" screen. I haven't been able to see an active computer in the shop (they will not activate Windows 8 unless you want to buy the machine) and hence I have been able to see the non-powered, black screen. I see that it's not glossy, but in sunlight, I clearly see my own reflection. I reckon it's different when you power it on, but is this the equivalent of a matte screen? I want to use it outdoors and that is my main councern - how does it behave in sunlight?

The pronounciation is pegASUS. Ash's actually released a youtube video a while back explaining this. Makes sense since they spun off Pegatron. So both previous pronounciations mentioned below are actually incorrect. Too bad Asus took their time before explaining this to the public.

[Nabilel]

does he work for ign or he bought the shirt?

[TheKarimamrmostafa]

can it run bf3 on medium or high setting?

[zellyk]

was this the sandisk or adata ssd? very fast boot

See, I'm an Apple-fanboy, but one thing I hate about Apple is that they're so cheap! They never give anything else than the actual product. In this case, u get 2 adapters with a pouch and a carrying case for the computer. That will never happen for Apple products, ever.

He's a product reviewer, not a gay male model.
