Dell XPS 13 9343 vs ASUS Zenbook UX303LA
I'm wondering which of these 2 is the better buy from the Microsoft Store. I'm looking at the base configurations w/o Office 365. Here are their product pages:
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msu ... .312471000
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msu ... .313371600
Both are available for $799 after the grad discount, but the Asus specs seem to be a better bargain compared to the Dell (8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD).
This laptop will be used for general surfing, word processing, statistical analysis, and image processing (pathology). I'm wondering whether 4 GB of RAM from the Dell would be enough. Resolution is not an issue for me as long as it is at least 1920x1080. Weight is a factor - lighter would be better.
Thanks.
Side question: If anyone can find the best deal for a Dell XPS 8700 (used for the same purposes as above), please let me know. Trying to go below $1000.
