There are only a few 14" ultrabooks:

Acer

Dell
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i7-3517U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2899[1.87kg], 8GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port

The Acer M5 is able to play games although it is listed as an ultrabook
The others are more or less the same with the Lenovo U410.

1. Preferred Brand: Any. (except for Acer, I suppose)
2. Budget: Around 5k
3. Usage: Gaming, Casual Use. (therefore I would like less bulky?..)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Any.

Hi guys, I'm interested in buying a laptop as mine broke last month. But I'm not in a rush, plan to save up till early next year or so (since my workstation has its own pc!) before I go back to uni.

I heard lately that windows 8 is coming out, and they have this cool touchscreen function or something. If that's so, should I wait for new versions of laptops that are compatible with w8? And what are the laptops I should be looking at?

Thanks so much

Added on July 3, 2012, 10:49 amIf you're not in a hurry, then wait for new laptops to come.
Since you're waiting till next year, there are definitely going to be better new laptops releasing. Hopefully with W8 as well

Hi guys, I wanted to buy a new laptop. Can anyone recommend me.
1. Preferred Brand: Any.
2. Budget: Around 5~6k
3. Usage: Gaming, Graphic Design including Autocad, Casual Use,
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14.
Urgently need, possibly this Sunday

I am not sure of the price of 2nd hand laptops so I can only recommend you new laptops

For 14":

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

For 15":

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

The prices may have dropped so do check them out first

For 14" laptops with that budget, I can only recommend these:

Dell
Alienware M14x R2, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (1GB) + (1600x900)@RM4899[Klipsch], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); [CPU Options: i7-3610QM - i7-3820QM]
Alienware M14x R2, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (2GB) + (1600x900)@RM5299[Klipsch], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); [CPU Options: i7-3610QM - i7-3820QM]

Personally I don't think its worth it as there are better 15" laptops if you are willing to look past 14"
Some other cheaper alternative 14" (weaker GPU):

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

Lenovo
Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M@2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard optional

Acer
[Ultrabook] M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899, 6GB, W7HP
