I purchased the x360 11 inch with Pentium processor last week and I could say that it is pretty decent when it comes to basic use such as watching movies and creating documents. The keyboard was great and I like it for being so tactile.
I also like the reflexive nature of the device and having four modes. One thing to consider though is its weight when using it as a tablet. The touch screen is quite responsive when it comes to clicking the start icon, close buttons etc. There are however seldom touch issues when you try to touch-slide the screen when scrolling up and down on an open webpage or documents. You will also encounter left and right swiping issue when checking out photos in full screen.
One of the downsides of this device is its weak battery life. I could get only for about 3 to 4 hours of power on continuous usage with 30% to 50% screen brightness. Furthermore, the browsing experience was mediocre because the wifi adaptor is a single adaptor unlike other devices in the market that offer dual band.
To sum up the experience, the device will serve an office person well if your main purpose of it is for documents and movies. I would not recommend this for people who would love to stay at coffee shops and people-on-the-go because of its feeble battery. They may consider taking the Asus transformer book T100T that can last for up to 11 hours if they are into productivity on the go with a reasonable price.
