Hi,

I'm split between getting one here in Canada in the next few days:

or picking one in US, both for $800-900:

This one has a faster CPU but is it a quad CPU and is the keyboard back lighted?

Overall I prefer ASUS over Dell, based on past purchases.

Thanks!

But why? Does it have a better CPU(a quad)? Is the keyboard back lighted?
