ASUS notebook - advice/opinions please!

alton · 2015-01-26 11:24:41

I'm looking for a new laptop for general use - internet, streaming video, the odd bit of word/excel, music - nothing too serious. We've been looking at Asus.

I'm looking for a new laptop for general use - internet, streaming video, the odd bit of word/excel, music - nothing too serious.

We've been looking at Asus. I'm somewhat confused by the lengthy model numbers, not sure what the difference is between them (other than the series letter), but anyway here are the ones we are looking at :

x550ca - xx322H (Intel i5, 8gbRAM, 1000GB) - €579

X550cc - x02479 - (Intel i7, 8gbRAM, 1000GB) - €629

s56ca-xx159h - (Intel 17, 6gbRAM, 500GB + 24GBSSD) - €649

Other than reading up a few "what to consider when buying a laptop" posts, I haven't much of a clue about computers, so any advice is welcome!

Do you have any links to the laptops?

They would all do what you need, but I presume the last one in your list is a very slim laptop, or there is something else that sets it apart from the other two.
