Yup, especially those units that come with 3 year warranty.

Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty

A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black

All of these should handle pso2 at 1366x768 well.
Price is RSP, negotiable.

Consumer GPUs will work, especially with GPGPU found in Nvidia's CUDA cores. However, they won't be as efficient or as effective as dedicated workstation GPUs.

Hi there. Looking for an ultrabook for work that I can easily take around

1. Preferred Brand: anything but Acer and Sony
2. Budget: 4000 (Including original OS and Office)
3. Usage: for office work (able to do photoshopping is a big plus)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size:13-14 inch
5. Others: got HDMI (not micro), SSD preferable but > 250GB. Prefer < 1.8kg

Someone recommended the ASUS Zenbook UX31E-DH72 13.3" Ultrabook. Any other alternatives?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/463710

Here is another one. It stated up front that it is re-furbished.
But look at that Precision, the spec is good

1. Preferred Brand - any
2. Budget - 4k
3. Usage - 24 7 gaming & photoshoping
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15 full hd or better
how about THIS one? thanks

UX31E-DH72. Obsolete model from 2011
Intel HD 4000 can support some light photoshop work. If you want to do extensive work, you need a dedicated GPU.
SSD > 250G is very expensive. 512G ~ RM1.2k++++ Anyway, most laptop don't come with stock SSD greater than 256G. Suggest you get a external HDD to store big and not frequently access files.
MicroHDMI, any reason why not? MicroHDMI cable normally has 1 end with MicroHDMI and the other end with full HDMI to connect to external display.

If it is for "office" where minimum downtime is important, go for Dell with 3 year next business day on site warranty support service.
