PLEASE HELP..need your EXPERT advice on ASUS X75A-DH32

Hello....I am looking at this ASUS X75A-DH32 "ultrabook" laptop--> Notebooks & Ultrabooks - X75A


BUT need some advice before I buy it. I will use this for home use to browse the net, email, light office work, school work and light gaming. My reservation concerns the processor. It has the 3rd gen i3 and 6gb of memory with Intels HD 4000 graphics. It also comes with Windows 8. Overall, is this a good CPU that will allow me to multitask etc. without bogging down and hanging up? Has anyone had any experience with this model by chance?

I would really appreciate ALL of you ASUS EXPERTS to give me your opinion on this machine. I have the choice between this one and a 15" Dell Inspiron with a 1.7 ghz Pentium Dual Core and 4gb of memory thru my employer. Albeit the ASUS is going to run about $100 more...I would rather have it but don't want to buy something that I will regret later for sure.

Thank you so much for all of your feedback!!

Here are the specs:

Intel Core i3 3110M(2.40GHz)
6GB Memory 500GB HDD
Intel HD Graphics 4000
1600 x 900 17.3"
Windows 8 64-bit
DVD Super Multi

 

The computer and i3 will be great for what you want to do except the light gaming but that will also depend on what games you want to play. Demanding ones like the Battlefield 4 wont run very well at all, so much so that you probably will not want to play it because of the low performance.
I also prefer a 1920x1080 resolution but it will be tough to find a 17.3" with that and stay around the same price point.

 

Thank you so much for your feedback! Over 160 views at this point and you were the only one to give me some advice! I really appreciate it!

 

Happy to give some advice. Maybe someone else will give some input
