Although I said I got it in my below comment, it's also for my sister who seems to be in a similar situation to you. It's for work and Sims 4. She hasn't started using it yet though.
Thanks! Grabbed it and it works like a charm :)
You got the F550C-X0068H? I would've considered the X0069H considering the price.
Great prices particularly on the F550CC-X0068H and F550CC-X0069H. These were 15% off last week at JBHifi and I got it during that sale (damn it)..
F550CC-X0068H was $676.60.
and we have the Asus TF810C-1B059W. The Asus VivoBook features screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and is powered by Intel Atom Processor. $719.20 SAVE $179.80
Man this thing is pretty tempting, got a legit stylus (is it wacom? i dunno). Just worried about the atom, getting mixed reviews from people all over the place. Wonder if you would be able to do any light gaming on this thing.
EDIT: But also the other ASUS and ACER atom tabs have been selling ~$400. A keyboard would set you ~$100, so I'm not sure that this device is worth $100/$200 more (given that they're both atom stuff). HP Envy x2 on special has also been ~$600.
Then again the TF810C also has superb battery life (~7 hours tab alone/14-15 hours with keyboard dock apparently).
Got the F550CC-X0069H yesterday (for my sons birthday next week). Great price.
thanks OP, picked up the "Asus F550CC-X0069H Windows 8 Notebook $719.20"
Nice find! Thinking of picking up the ASUS F550CC-X0068H 15.6" Windows 8 Notebook for my sister as she is in need of a new laptop for teaching. Anything I should be aware of with this model? She only needs to to do work on and the occasional game (like Sims 3).
