Hello,
i have been searching for a laptop for university and would like opinions on the Asus Vivobook S500. It is on sale now for $550 and i have been looking for a laptop that is the best deal for under about 699. I will be using this for all my classes and school work and need one that is very portable, fast as possible, and good battery life. Is this a good laptop and is the price right or should i wait for another deal?
