ASUS’ Computex 2012 range may have err’d on the odd side so far, but the new Zenbook Prime UX21A Touch is an ultrabook with far more mass-market appeal despite delivering finger-friendly Windows 8. Taking the original Zenbook Prime from earlier this year, and slotting in a capacitive touchscreen on top of the Full HD display, it eschews crazy hinges and odd form-factors for a more straightforward boost in functionality.
This week we’re getting a barrage of device reveals coming forth from both Acer and ASUS at Computex, each of them featuring Windows 8 and touchscreen interfaces. We’ve had a chance to get our hands on several of the most major additions to this collection of oncoming computers, each of them filmed live in Taiwan! Devour the Acer Iconia tablets, see the wild and crazy ASUS TAICHI dual-screen notebook – get your eyes on the whole lot!
This year at Computex we’re seeing a massive amount of Windows 8 in its final iteration, coming to touch-screens galore everywhere, with ASUS bringing the fury on notebooks, tablets, and large-screen transformers.

Then it’s all about the next-level category breaking and busting!
Computex 2012 is being flooded with laptops, tablets, and hybrids by ASUS, but the company has one more thing up its sleeve: a new NAS product.

Military grade 256-bit encryption is on board, plus support for 2.5- and 3.5-inch HDDs, including SSDs.
