Acer Aspire S7-392 vs Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus

I'm going to be heading to school in a couple of weeks and am in the market for a new notebook. I'm looking for a ultrabook with a haswell processor and have managed to narrow down the possible choices to the Acer Aspire S7-392 or the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus. So far the Aspire S&-392 has gotten great reviews everywhere I've looked including on Linus' show. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to wait a couple weeks and pick up the ATIV Book 9 Plus which has in addition to all the features that are drawing me to the Aspire S7, a 3200 X 1800 resolution display. The Book 9 Plus doesn't have quite as much RAM or storage as the S7, but with the introduction of 4K content I'm wondering if it would be worth waiting for the Book 9 Plus to be released.

 

What haswell ultrabook would you guys pick, Acer Aspire S7-392 or Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus?

Aspire S7. I have owned Samsung laptops, and the performance is extremely unimpressive. I have a Samsung Series 5 (i5, 6GB DDR3, 750GB HDD) and a Samsung Chromebook and they're both stuttery and slow.

 

As for all my Acer laptops? They ran smooth until I dropped them.
