    IMO, if your not gonna game, get the cheapest dual core notebook out there. This is not one of those.

    I disagree with this.

    The Asus offers a great thin and light design and is capable of 10+ hours on the battery. More importantly, it's rock solid. The build is great.

    There are some cheap dual core laptops with flimsy designs or bulky designs, flex, too much heat, terrible battery life...

    $699 is a good price for that machine.
