Just 56mm tall and with a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 paper, VivoPC slips easily into the smallest of spaces, and has a stylish spun metal finish to complement both home offices and living rooms. VivoPC features ASUS SonicMaster audio technology for incredible sound quality with
external speakers and high-performance 802.11ac Wi-Fi for smooth HD video streaming and seamless web browsing.

Powered with Intel Celeron 1007U Dual-Core and IntelR CoreT i3 / i5 Processors, ASUS Vivo PC is available with Windows 8 operating system. VivoPC defies convention and redefines the look of a desktop PC; sporting the same spun-metal design found on other ASUS offerings, VivoPC continues on the ASUS tradition of fine aesthetics and a quality finish. ASUS VivoPC SonicMaster and AudioWizard audio utilities found on VivoPC, ensure the best sound for movies and music.

In India, Vivo PC is available in two models ASUS Vivo PC VM40B and ASUS Vivo PC VC60. ASUS Vivo PC VC60 is available in two variants powered by IntelR CoreT i3-3110M processor and IntelR CoreT i5-3210M processor respectively. The model is also equipped with 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth V4.0 for excellent connectivity.

Despite its compact dimensions, VivoPC is also well-equipped when it comes to expandability. A sliding case cover gives quick access to the two internal memory slots and the drive bay can accommodate a 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbit/s hard drive.

VivoMouse – new device category combines mouse, touchpad and wireless remote

ASUS VivoMouse is an entirely new kind of pointing device, its innovative combination of traditional desktop input and a wireless handheld remote for more casual PC control. VivoMouse can be used as a standard optical mouse that fits comfortably in the hand, but its top surface also incorporates a large circular touchpad with full support for Windows 8 multi-touch
gestures.

The wide, flat design means VivoMouse can be used interchangeably as a mouse and desktop touchpad, making it ideal for Windows 8 PCs that lack a multi-touch display. However, its wireless PC connection also makes VivoMouse ideal for one-handed control away from the desktop, so it’s also the perfect peripheral for a living room PC.
