    If you have used Windows 8 on a non-touch computer, performing the gestures with the mouse seems awkward. Whether it's the task of closing an app or putting an app to the charms menu, you have to move the mouse quite a lot. Taking this into perspective, ASUS today has come up with the ASUS VivoMouse that combines ergonomics of mouse with touchpad input and wireless connectivity. A 3- point multi-touch circular touchpad sits on top of the standard mouse that can support all the Windows 8 multi-touch gestures. Thanks to its wireless connectivity, it can also be used as one handed control for living room PC. Going to the detailed tech specs, it has a 200 dpi sensor and operates wirelessly on 2.4 GHz wireless connection and measures 135 x 78 x 25.5 cm.

For easy expansion of storage, it comes with a sliding case cover that can be removed to expose the external drive bay that has two memory slots to accommodate 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA 6Gbps regular or solid state hard drives. In terms of connectivity it boasts of two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

    ASUS seems to have some really awesome set of engineers working on their products. The VivoPC as well as the VivoMouse look really, really interesting. I am waiting for their official tech specs list to get out. Now theres finally AC WiFi starting to get to built in, this has to be the slowest roll out of new WiFi standards, the PC industry has really been stagnant the last 5-10 years.

    Most of us can start to envision the future of Desktop PCs with such innovative products.

    Really impressed by what ASUS has come up with at the Computex 2013. Those designs look totally awesome and original. Wondering what'd be the prices of these gadgets in India.
