I have both the Asus CX34 and the Acer 417.   The 417 is a much better
device.   Almost every CX34 I bought has has some type of issue that I
needed to send back for a warranty repair.  I faired a little better with
the ASUS CX5' (which are closer to the 714 than the CX34), but I still had
a hire rate of warrant issues than I should have.    I am not getting
another ASUS again.
