The ones we bought were 8, they ask up to update to 8.1 regularly. Newer ones coming out now may offer 8.1

This one has Windows 8 and a UEFI bios to support that (not sure the S01US didn't have it, but it's required for MS approval to ship 8, I hear). Specs are otherwise identical as far as I can tell.

It's windows 8. I haven't updated to 8.1 and don't plan on it. I'm running 8.1 on an Asus VivoTab and I much preferred 8.0.

Yes, this is a touchsceen laptop. Have been using it for 3 months and so far no issues with touchscreen on Windows 8.

I can't recommend other than the ASUS X202E Touchscreen Ultrabook. Please check with ASUS to be sure.

Well, Watch out because even if you have an asus laptop this product is useless for Windows 8 or 8.1. I did call the support number and they confirmed that it wasn't happening and that Windows 8/8.1 blows. They suggested I downgrade to Windows 7. If I do downgrade to 7 it won't be to get this $15 part to work- it will be to stop the nightmarish experience of Windows 8. The number for support is 1-812-282-2787. And yes (I'm looking at you smug sophisticated tech geeks) I should've known better, but I didn't and I hope this saves someone else a little trouble and $14.99. Dang that was a disappointing waste of time. Good luck. Well, Watch out because even if you have an asus laptop this product is useless for Windows 8 or 8.1.

It came with Windows 8. I had to install 8.1. I don't know if the RAM is upgradeable, you may find out from Asus' website.

It's a great little laptop, but it is not a touchscreen. I believe that they may have a new model out that does have a touch screen. Not really an issue for me since I can't stand Windows 8.

You know, you could have answered your own question by looking at the specs or going to the Asus website. No, it don't have no touchscreen.

Dear Greg yes this is a Windows 8 operating system and it is a great little machine. The only negative is that it is NOT a touch screen but there are a ton of free apps and it works like a dream once you acclimate to windows 8. Lenovo makes a great machine and they have have a 24/7 support center that is there for you should you have any problems and they all speak English. If you want to try Windows 8 this is the way to go.. if you need a new laptop find another Lenovo on sale you can not go wrong with the brand.

This was bought for a friend that has a laptop with windows 8.1 on it. The laptop does not have a touch screen. It works fine.

Why hasn't the Asus rep answered this question? Unless, they are purposely leaving it ambiguous.

The other two are touchscreen enabled screens. Those screens are thicker and have more components in them. Spec wise they run the same it's just a difference of interface. Hope that helps. =)

Caleb, my husband has this ASUS M11BB. He works in the IT field so he knows a lot about computers. He upgraded it to Windows 8.1. The only issue he had was getting adjusted to the new user interface. The desktop commands are different. He had to download a new printer driver so his scanner would work. But this is typical of Windows upgrades. He strongly recommends one or more touch screen monitors as well.
