It really depends on what you are looking to do with the laptop.

The asus touch screen I say is a no go for now... They just came out with touch screens and are not efficient enough, I would wait until christmas to buy one because they will be 10times better...
If you just want one right now do not go with the Asus 11.6" TouchScreen Laptop 4GB Memory 320GB Hard Drive Q200E-BCL0803E - Best Buy This is is just over priced and half as good as the other two (performance wise).
Between the other two I can not see anything different between them internally... I could not find out the ram for the X200CA but besides that they are identical... The X200CA bost's a lighter weight laptop... So it might not be as durable but it is roughly $200's cheaper... But they have the same core's the same drives, the same screens even...

In all I love asus, they come with the fewest bloat ware in the market in my opinion... This close to Christmas I would just wait another 3 months and get one just as cheap and twice as good...

Black Friday is good but that might be pushing it... You just need the new Christmas stock to come out... early november late october would be the time to buy in my opinion...

Around the time frame of late October to Early November they start coming out with all the new models... Towards late November due to supply and demand all the lap tops increase price... Even though they say that they will have X-mas sales and Black Friday sales, in my opinion its just a gimmick...

But this is my opinion.. some say they drop price at black friday and such, I disagree...

so basically, when the new models come out, the older models price gets cut back and they will sell out quickly?

sorry if im asking too many questions, im new to computers and such.

Yah, it is just like new cars.... If you have a 2012 model on your lot and a 2013, the 2012 costs less now because it is "out dated"...
