Lenovo VS Asus

[RoxsSA]

HI All

I am battling to decide between the following 2 laptops:

1. Lenovo Intel 1.3 Notebook - Ideapad 100
2. Asus A540LA Intel Core 1.3

I have found them both at the same price.

Usage will be for Business - Microsoft Office Programs and browsing the web.

Being the same price, which would be recommended to purchase?

Thanks

having used that Lenovo I can say go for the ASUS.

the lenovo has a terrible build quality. there is movement in the keyboard under the DEWS keys so it makes it difficuilt to use, the function keys are default and the F keys you need to press FN lock for. worst laptop I have ever worked on.

I would go second hand with better quality and lower price - like this: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...Ultrabook-(i5-4310U-256GB-SSD-8GB-RAM-4G-LTE)
Much better spec:
- i5-4310U with vPro (low power CPU/RAM)
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB SSD instead of HDD
- 3G modem (LTE modem in message header)
- backlit keyboard
- Gigabit Ethernet
- (possibly, it doesn't say) Bluetooth 4.0 802.11ac combo

Or similarly specced 12.5" ultrabook i7-4600U @the same price as above: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...-E7240-Ultrabook-(i7-4600U-256GB-SSD-8GB-RAM)
Perfect screen size for HD resolution in my opinion.
