[schylur]

Okay, so know I am down to my last two decisions, both of thes laptops are very similar, except ASUS N56 has an i7 processor and a backlit keyboard, and I kind of like the design better, but it cost $979, and the ASUS N53 has no backlit keyboad and it is an i5 processor, but it cost $779

DO you guys think it's worth it to go for the more expensive laptop, oh and I will basically be multitasking, with youtube/netflix, word, excel, and I do very light gamin(ex. grepolis).

if faster processor and sata III and usb 3.0 are important to you then go with the newer notebook. if not then go with the cheaper notebook.
