How about if the notebook is just for pure projects and assignments only (no gaming at all)? Budget same RM3.5k to RM3.8k.

prefer an ultrabook with good battery life

Asus UX31A-R4005H or Acer Aspire S7-391-53314G12

Which is better? (as the price difference is only RM200)

Its RM300 difference laugh.gif
Well, I guess it all depends on whether you need the touchscreen or not (S7)... And of course, how you feel about these two notebooks e.g. typing feel, ergonomics of the touchpad and keyboard etc.
Its best that you go and "molest" these two notebooks prior to buying...
And if you really like the touchscreen feature, but still wanted a ZenBook, you might want to wait for the upcoming touchscreen ZenBook. There should be one iinm  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank you for your reply.
How about specs wise? Are they the same when comparing those two? I personally think the touch screen feature is cool! But my sister had a bad experience once with Acer notebooks (eg spoil very fast).

And may i know when will the new touchscreen zenbook be released on market?

Both notebooks have similar specs (assuming you are comparing with the i5 variant of the UX31A nod.gif). Its just a matter of whether it has touchscreen or not.
It is true that W8 functions best with touchscreen support... but personally I don't really feel that notebooks with touchscreens is a good idea since the constant touching of the screen will eventually make the screen become wobbly. TOuchscreens are also more expensive to replace.

As for the touchscreen ZenBook, I've not heard any rumors yet... so its hard to say... perhaps a month or two?

But i thought the UX31A is also a touchscreen o.O anyway.. Could you help me choose from the following?

Lenovo Yoga 13 / Acer Aspire S7 / XPS 12 / Zenbook UX31A

Money wouldn't be much of a problem (RM3k to 3.8k) Notebook will be used to watch movies, light gaming, college+uni work (mostly microsoft word,excel,powerpoint opened simultaneously) and it must be light also.

Unless there are other better options for me to choose from.
