    would there be a huge difference between the Asus Vivobook X202E Celeron B847 processor compared to the Intel Pentium 987 na processor? And please do advise kung alin na yung available sa PH. Hard to tell dahil pare-parehas istura, iba ibang price. hehe. Reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

    Mag-iisang buwan na mula ng malaunch, hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong makitang S400 sa mga malls. Sana bago man lang magpasko, meron na. And by the way, it has bluetooth v4.0 “daw”.
