I'm trying to decide between these two laptops. Would like to do more than web browsing like playing online games and using itunes and maybe some photoediting. I was looking at the v5 but decided to wait for a touchscreen model. Now the touchscreen model has came out but it has an amd-a6 1450 while the asus has intel i3 3217u. The asus is $425 from amazon while the acer is $450.

Acer screen 11.6" HD (1366 x 768) widescreen CineCrystal™ LED-backlit display
Asus screen 11.6" LED Backlight HD (1366X768)
Also any other suggestions for a 11.6 inch touchscreen laptop for around $500 would be great but these are the only ones I could find.
