Cheapest around as far as I can see! Well spec'd machine that should take any productivity work you throw at it. 8GB RAM also, which is great if you are using memory intensive apps like Photoshop, Lightroom etc.
The X555 model also comes with a long lifespan Li-Polymer battery, which should give you 2.5 times the lifespan of a traditional laptop battery.

Doesn't have a 1080p screen. How much of an issue is that?

That depends on whether you need the extra space or not.

ok price. I have a similar Asus laptop but it has an i5 and a touchscreen. I replaced the h/drive with an SSD and it boots in around 10 seconds. It's been pretty good but if I were buying now would go for a 13 / 14" laptop and try to get one a bit lighter..
