    Which one do you think will be the fastest? Do you think the Samsung since it is 10gb ram?

      I didn't mention any Samsungs: did you mean the Toshiba?

      The one that runs on the SSD would be the fastest, so in other words it's the Toshiba. The RAM is really not all that important — any more past 4 or 6 gigabytes doesn't make much of a difference for general usage.

      You could also buy the Acer S3 and upgrade the SSD yourself. This particular Acer has a Core i5 but no details on whether that's the newer Ivy Bridge or older Sandy Bridge.

        If I wanted to get the Toshiba from a store in Melbourn, what's my best option?

  Can you wait 6 weeks and see if the end of financial year sales are good?

    Sales most likely start within 2-3 weeks.

  Im thinking of waiting for the EOFY sales too? From past experience, have there been significant deals/savings?

  Low stock:

  Probably a bit heavier than you hoped:

  Probably getting pushed out to clear the way for haswell.
