The ux310ua costs $1179 and has a 6th gen i5, 512GB ssd, 8gb ram and a 13.3" FHD TN display. The UX305ca costs $999 and has an m3-6y30, 256gb SSD, 8gb ram and a 13.3" qhd+ touch screen is display. What one do you think I should jump on? Or is there a better deal on another ultra book. I will mainly use it for word processing, coding, spreadsheet, and other school things. And also a bit of light gaming. Please explain your answer in the comments.

Do you mind a refurb?
I bought from these guys a couple times over the past 2 years, haven't had a problem.

Please note that ultrabook can't beat laptop with dedicated graphics card if you want proper gaming (i.e. decent graphics).And get i5 or i7; don't get Intel M series - these have longer battery life but a bit worse on the gaming.

asus says 7th gen intel, is it an older model you are looking at? (310UA)
i like the 305, lighter and thinner and for school would be perfectly fine (like the mac book size) battery life is great too.
the 310 is a bit more powerful but heavier and thicker (but still fine for school, like mac air size)
either would be fine, have a look in store and see what one you like. also check what ports they have , one might have a port you need.
