Opinions on this two small laptops

Salvation

I am currently looking at 2 Asus touchscreen laptops in PCWorld and trying to determine do I need to spend an extra 70 euros for a slightly better CPU.

This one has a Pentium B987 CPU :

And this an i3

I will be using the machine for internet surfing, the odd office exploit,watching videos whilst travelling and listening to music and maybe youtube the odd time.

Would spending the extra 70 make a difference for what I will be using it for ?

Me too, has anyone bought this?

Looking to replace my 15 inch and wondering if this is too small for my needs. Getting and TF300 with the dock and think they might be too similar

All that is pretty basic stuff that any computer should be able to handle so there's really no reason to spend the extra €90 if that's all you plan on using it for. Best thing to do is just test it out in store and see how it performs.

here's a video review of it, you might find it more helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYvBxyjSf64

I bought the Pentium Version yesterday.

Out of the box it is very good, had a few wifi issues which were resolved by turning off the power saving option in Device manager.

It is a great little machine, although it says some places there is bluetooth with this I cannot seem to find or activate so I am assuming there is none.

Also there is a backlit keyboard again cant find the option to enable it ?
