Just a Small Question About Some Laptops

Hello, I recently asked for some cheaper laptop recommendations, and have had some great ones so far. As of right now, I'm very, very sold on the HP Pavilion x2. But, looking around, I've found there are some differences between two versions on the HP Store.
They both appear to be the same thing, but there are some differences in the listed specifications.
So, my question is, seeing as they're both three hundred dollars, which is better? (More specifically, which one should I buy?) Or are they in fact exactly the same, and the specs are just listed differently?

Greetings, jbkillable:

I had to strain my eyes for some time, but I think I found the differences:

1. One is called 10-n (which I assume means 'non-touch') and the other is called 10-t (which, then, probably means 'touch-screen').

2. The touch version can be ordered with 64GB of eMMC storage, whereas the non-touch version is only available with 32GB.

3. The touch version uses an IPS panel, which I expect will offer more and better viewing angles.

4. The touch version, having a touch-screen, is a little bit heavier, at 2.62 lbs compared to 2.54 lbs for the non-touch version.

My advice is to go with the touch version and treat it as a 10.1-inch tablet or a large smartphone, i.e. use your fingers. You don't get that option with the non-touch version,

Touch or non-touch, this model is very interesting and quite attractive, too. I hadn't seen it before.

Cheers,
GreyCatz.

I don't particularly plan on using it TOO much, more so for VERY light games on the go (literally like Uplink: Hacker Elite. Love that game) a bit of schoolwork, a bit of design once I get this and my graphics tablet (Intuos Pen and Touch) when I'm not at home, and for watching shows and things I download. I'm not too keen on paying for more on board space, I've got quite a few SD cards I can use with it. Along with that, I don't plan on using it for more than some stuff while I'm not at home.
That's why the fairly small price, and honestly fabulous price is so attractive, it's not much, but it will serve its purpose well.

I originally was planning on getting a normal laptop, without any gimmicks like touch screen and all that. But, considering the size and how well it will work for what I would like it for.

Anyways, thank you very much, I'll definitely begetting the touch version as soon as possible!

I originally just wanted a lower-size, lower-spec laptop for when I'm out at school and what not. I didn't want any unneeded gimmicks like touchscreen capability or anything. But, I was sold by the touch screen detachable idea, as it would save me a bit on getting an upgraded tablet (I currently have the Verizon Ellipsis 7. Works well for what I use it for, which is primarily watching a show I have downloaded onto the SD card.)
In the end, I'm not going to be using the laptop too heavily, just when I'm out. So, why not get a LapTablet, as I call them, and use it as I need it.
I originally was going to get one of the $150 Chromebooks, and install Windows on it, but I find this is a better deal for me. Sure, twice the price, but I'd call it worth it.
