One thing which might affect this is the Haswell chips which will succeed the Ivory Bridge chips, rumored to be out in June 2013. These chips will be smaller, and create less heat, meaning the hybrid laptop tablets may get much better specs and things may come down in price.

Thank you all for your help. If anyone has any energy left to help me, I would love to hear what people think of the comparison between these two notebooks
My Samsung top runner:

One the people at memory express mentioned when I contacted them:

They seem to be the same notebook almost, Samsung looks more sleek, Asus is lighter, better screen resolution and smaller screen.
Don't know battery consumption comparison.
Thoughts?
Thanks again for any comments!
EDIT: Apperntly the Asus is a IPS screen, whatever that is and the Samsung is a FS, whatever that is. I think neither are touchscreens.
