[Microsoft Store] ASUS Transformer Book T100TAM 32GB w/ 500GB - $329

Searched but couldn't find this posted any where. Just bought the ASUS T100TAM from MicrosoftStore.com (Canadian site). This is the newer version with Z3775 Atom Bay Trail CPU and includes a 500GB hard drive in the dock. Also, reviews say this comes with a newer IPS panel. I thought this was a hot deal. Let me know what you guys think.

I think NCIX has the 64GB one (without 500GB HDD) going for 369 on their weekly special. There are models with and without the 500GB in the dock. As far as my research goes, the T100TAM always comes with 500GB in the dock.

This actually looks like a pretty good deal considering it's the new model (Date first available at Amazon.com: September 29, 2014)
and it's also selling for about $400 USD (roughly 450$ CAD) on Amazon.com and Newegg.com
Is there any reason why I shouldn't jump on this?

Considering everywhere else including Microsoftstore.com is selling the older model at higher price, it's the reason why I jumped on this.

I use it to

- Browse via Chrome

10 years ago, a typical desktop don't have 2GB RAM and this Atom is at C2D level in terms of CPU speed, unlikely to be slower than your P4.

EDIT:
this is definitely faster than my 7.5 years old Core Duo which came with only 2GB RAM.

How would this compre to the dell venue 8 pro, I just bought one 2 weeks ago from ms for $265, primarily using my dv8 for reading , surfing and watching movies. I like the dv8 screen and size but annoyed with the pen lol. So if I exchange it I'm really only out $20 on a case j bought for the dv8 since I can move my sd card over to this

Actually, I saw somebody playing a game that I plan on running and that was on the older model, being the newer model a little bit faster (CPU and GPU clock), I assume it will run a little bit better. And that's all I need from it.

All Asus T100 comes with a keyboard/touchpad dock, but 500GB HDD in the dock will depend on the model. This one will come with the 500GB HDD in the dock.
