    What's better? i7, 4GB RAM and 256GB or i5, 10GB and 24GB SSD/500 GB IDE?

    Hi, just a question I am unable to answer for myself.

    Comparing the older (pre-touch) UX31a, and UX32a, if the former has 4GB non expandable RAM, i7 3510 and a256gb SSD, would against the UX32a, i5-3317, 24GBSSD/500GB IDE and 10GB RAM (its expandable from the 4GB).

    Both running Win7.
    If one is using them primarily for regular office tasks and multi tabbed browsing, not photoshopping or video editing of course... I'm guessing the i7/SSD combination will win but maybe not by much?

    Many thanks
