A Smarter Touch

The HD touchscreen allows you to take full advantage of the Windows 8.1 experience. You'll be able to effortlessly navigate multiple applications without ever needing a mouse, and with actuators that are 5 millimeters in diameter – nearly half as small as Microsoft requires – the screen is 150% more accurate. That means you select what you want every time. The K200MA's focus on touch also extends to the touchpad, which is 41% larger than those found on other similar-sized laptops. Take advantage of that extra space with SmartGesture Technology, which lets you pinch-zoom, scroll and swipe through pages all with your fingertips. The K200MA gives you complete control – from the screen to the keyboard, whose ergonomic, one-piece construction ensures and quick, accurate typing.

More Power to Meet Your Needs

The K200MA improves upon one of Asus's top-sellers by featuring the latest Intel Baytrail-M N2815 Dual Core processor. This delivers improved performance – for greater lag-free multitasking – while consuming the same amount of power. And with the Asus Super Hybrid Engine II, the amount of power at your disposal will be considerable: Enough to keep the notebook in standby mode for two weeks, with an Instant On resume time of just two seconds. The only thing faster is the USB 3.0 port, which boasts 10 times the speed of USB 2.0 and lets you transfer a 25 GB Blu-ray quality movie in a mere 70 seconds. Balancing productivity and entertainment have never been easier.

Sounds Too Good

Asus's team of sound experts has developed SonicMaster technology to provide the truest sound experience heard from a laptop. With larger speakers and sound chambers – all within the notebook's slim 1 inch body – sound waves are allowed to fully expand outward. This results in reduced distortion and high-fidelity audio. Even more, sound is improved with AudioWizard's six preset modes, each of which optimizes the sound of whatever you're doing – whether listening to music or watching a movie.

Sharing and Storing Made Easy

Store your data – personal files, music, photos, movies – in the cloud and access it anytime you want. With the MyBitCast app, your content will be auto-updated and synced so you can share with friends via a smartphone, tablet or computer. All you need is an internet connection.
