With Windows 8 launching today, I dont see any Win8 laptop with Bluray drive announced yet... or did I missed anything?

Pretty much these from lenovo:
13"
[Ultrabook]S300, Pentium 997 + Intel HD3000 @RM1199[1.8kg], 2GB,500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS; W7HB@RM1399, no ODD, 1 yr warranty
[Ultrabook] U310, i3-3217M + Intel HD4000@RM1999, 4GB, 320GB(5400rpm), W7HB (32-bit); colors: Blue/Pink

Any recommended laptop for gaming? My brother is going to the US so he can't bring the desktop (its mine anyways).

No special preference but i guess roughly 15 inch screen is standard for gaming. Nothing super heavy too (sis have an old Inspiron 6400, heavy like crazy)

Budget from 2k up to 3k. Might buy it in the US though, just want to see what are the options here.

* Maybe the IdeaPad Y580?

Do take note that 15" notebooks are not light
This one would be the best at the moment
15.6"
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming

can anyone suggest a notebook for fast surfing..budget max rm2000
thanks

Since win8 is in? Do we need touch screen laptop ti fully utilize the feature? I3 processor us good emough? Anything less than 2k with my criteria... Lenovo. Thin light. No gaming require. cteen can be 12 or 13"

1. Asus , Acer , Dell ,HP or Lenovo
2. 2.3k
3. Surfing , watch movies , downloading and some gaming ( light )
4. 11"-15"

Can consider the newer versions with W8 too

Spec-wise, the GT630M is more or less on par with the AMD HD 7670M
Just go for the one that you like more, and do take into account the ergonomics and user-friendliness of each laptop before buying

Ultrabook perhaps?

Nothing decent from Lenovo at that price range and size unfortunately

is that s400 performance better than folio?
