hmm.gif seems the k46cm has good specs but seems the dissapointment is the 4 cell battery, RAM can be upgraded right ?

hmm.. does ultrabook can remove hdd and replace SSD(i want to replace to SSD in the future) ? if cant then i narrow down to 14/15 SE by dell since my budget is now 2.2k.

i would like to play HD movies without any lag and also battery life.

15' considered bulky ? hmm.

Ive narrowed down my choice of laptops/ultrabooks and here im considering :

Asus K46CM, Lenovo S400 , Dell Inspiron 14R SE

1. Prefered brand : Anything besides Acer
2. Budger : RM2200
3. Usage : Office, HD movies (Blu-ray), Software Simulation since im Engineering Student.
4. Prefered screen size : 14'" / 15"

Is the 4 Cell battery common for ultrabooks ? Does the battery last compare to 6 cell battery on a notebook ?
Also among the 3 models i considered above, which one u prefer ?

It would be great if any sifu here reply me. Thanks

The K46cm and the S400 are ultrabooks, whereas the 14R SE is a normal notebook...
Performance-wise, the 14R SE would definitely be better nod.gif

4-cells is quite little, not really enough to power a 14" notebook unfortunately sad.gif

Owh, in that case means 14r se is a better buy? And is it possible to upgrade RAM with an ultrabook? Feel that 2gb of RAM is little .

I'm in the dilemma on which model to choose among the 3 mentioned above. Lol.

Hey guys ive narrowed down my notebook choices and its

A45VD-VX053v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm); colors: white/red

Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2099[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD

which one u prefer if u were me ?
my purpose of getting one is

1. Portability (Not Bulky)
2. Do my productivity work such as Office,Programming,Engineering Simulation Softwares and watch Movies/Videos which are Blu-Ray Quality without lag.
3. Good Battery Life.
4. Maybe if play games it would be like Diablo 3 or something not intense since my main purpose is productivity work.

and my budget it RM2200. or is it more worth to top up for a better but more valuable notebook/ultrabook ?

Better performance.
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

Better portability.
[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2099[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD

Battery life probably similar imo. hmm.gif

Hmm about the K46CM is it possible to open and upgrade the RAM ?
