Asus has several laptops sitting at its stand at IFA. The Zenbook UX21 Touch stands out because of its touchscreen... its very glossy touchscreen.

The UX21 Touch is the same size as its 11.6" predecessor, the UX21E. The display is now a capacitive touchscreen and has lost its matte surface for a glossy one. Unfortunately. But at least the technology is the same: IPS, which offers wide-open viewing angles (contrary to the TN technology used in the X21E). It comes in a choice of two resolutions: Full HD or 1366 x 768.

The insides are fairly high-end, with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor and a solid-state drive. The price hasn't been announced, but it will be higher than the Asus Zenbook Prime (£870 at the lowest). The UX21 will come with Windows 8 pre-installed. The release has been announced for late-November/early-December.
