It's a lot more money though, is there a cheaper version? Maybe without a touch screen? I wouldn't use the touch screen most likely

sure if you don't need touch e11 is good and it's cheap.

but i would get the v11 for metal construction and more battery life.

Hey all, I need a laptop since I'll be away from home a lot. I don't need a very powerful laptop since I don't need to do any gaming or editing on it, just something that will let me browse the internet and use Skype, maybe play Minecraft if it is possible. I found this laptop with an Intel Pentium: http://www.amazon.com/Computer-14-inch-Display-Dual-core-Processor/dp/B00A9IOWMA/ My question is, is it worth it? If you have any better suggestions please share them here, my budget is about $300
