Hi!
I am going to buy a new laptop for my last year of university studies and work. Which one do you think is better between ASUS P55VA and ASUS PU500CA? I have links for these two laptops, but they are in Swedish.
ASUS P55VA:

Screen:
15" matt screen
Resolution: 1366 x 768
CPU:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3230M 2,6 GHz
Chipset HM76
Memory:
Memory (included/max): 4 GB / 8 GB
Memory Type: SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 MHz
Storage:
500 GB, 5400 RPM
Optical device: DVD ±RW
Graphics:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Weight:
2,6 kg
ASUS PU500CA:

Screen:
15" matt screen
Resolution: 1366 x 768
CPU:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3317U 1,7 GHz
Chipset HM77
Memory:
Memory (included/max): 6 GB / 6 GB
Memory Type: SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 MHz
Storage:
Hybrid HDD: 500 GB, 5400 RPM + 24 GB SSD
No optical device
Graphics:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Weight:
1,96 kg
I do business engineering and will be using it for writing reports, MS Visio, MS Office, light programming and probably some other programs that I can't get my mind on right now.
I will also be carrying around the laptop as well. ASUS PU500CA is light and weigh 1,96 kg, but has only 6 GB RAM and it's not upgradable, it also uses a slower CPU I think. The other one (ASUS P55VA) can have its memory upgraded from 4GB to 8Gb, and RAM is cheap.
I'd probably pick the lighter one if the performances of the two laptops are similar. Which one do you guys think is better when it comes to performance combined with portability?
My current laptop is a 15" HP that weighs about 2.6-2.7 kg, and it does get heavy towards the end of the day, if it's been a long day and I had to carry lots of other things with me, for example textbooks. Otherwise the weight isn't such a big problem.
