Since you travel, you need something light. i5 ULV CPU can handle amatuer level photo editing. Casual gaming - you mean those flash game / FB game? Then Intel HD 4000 could handle the graphic requirement.

With your budget and preference, there isn't much choices:

Asus 14"
K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD
13"
UX32VD-R3001H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M + 24GB mSATA SSD + 500GB HDD@RM2999[1.45kg], 4GB, W8
Lenovo 14"
S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199

If you are willing to consider other brands:
Acer
M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899[1.85kg], 6GB, W7HP
Dell
Inspiron 14z, i5-3337U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2549[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD
HP
Envy4-1204TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD8750M@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8
Envy4-1111TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD7670M + [32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)]@RM2599[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W8
Samsung
NP530U3C, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2699[1.52kg], 4GB, W8
NP530U4C, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M + 24GB mSATA + 1TB HDD@RM2999, 6GB, W7HP
Sony
Vaio SVT13125CV, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2799[1.56kg], 4GB, W8, color: silver; Vaio carryin case
Toshiba
Satellite U940-1001X, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT630M + 32GB mSATA + 640GB HDD@RM2699[1.7kg], 4GB, W8, backlit keyboard

thanks for the informative reply! smile.gif
casual gaming i mean maybe those blizzard's game in medium setting haha.
I'm actually struggling between 13" and 14" of the size. I travel a lot and i have a desktop at home, should i consider going 13"?
and yep i dont mind considering other brand as well. Just that i got better feedback from friends that experienced with Lenovo and Asus.

Blizzad - you mean Starcraft 2, Diablo 3?
Medium setting, your best bet is the K46CM, M5, Envy 4, U940, with GT630M level GPU.
If you go 13", there is no ultrabook with discrete GPU, except the UX32VD.
There is also this 13" Sony, which don't have ultrabook sticker, but still pretty light:
Vaio SVS13125CV, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM3099[1.72kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8; colors: maroon/white/black/pink; Vaio carrying case

yes, national service training. 19 years old is still ok, if over 19, its a shame.

i'm thorn between this 2 options

1.repairing my old cq40 laptop,cost me rm350 due to chipset replacement.the technician said that it will be kaput again any time,but he gives me 3 months personal warranty. I might need to buy external hdd since i still didn't backup my data/movies from my laptop biggrin.gif. Will go for a new laptop once it died again

or

2. just buy a new laptop.

Which one should i go eh? My budget for my next laptop is 2.5k,including extending its warranty. Any brand is ok,as long as it is durable (can go at least 5 years) and good service after sales. 14" would be nice,and i hope that it is able to play gta5 with medium setting

This one:
Lenovo
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

Most powerful 14" you can get for your budget. Negotiate, can get it ~ RM25xx.
Save your RM350, and use it to upgrade warranty to 3 years on site (still has spare change smile.gif )
Later, when you save a bit more (~ RM600), you can buy a ultrabay GT650M and slot it in, run 2 GT650M in SLI mode (performance ~ GTX670MX level) to play your GTA 5 (SLI support GTA 4, so support for GTA 5 should be forthcoming) laugh.gif
Wait a few more years, SSD should come way down in price/capacity. Upgrade and get a new lease of life.

How's that for a 5 year ownership plan? laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Don't need to apologise lah tongue.gif I am just teasing biggrin.gif

Intel basically say once Haswell (new Intel CPU) come out this year, all ultrabook must has touch screen thumbup.gif
So you will probably see a lot more touch screen laptop going forward (around end of 2013 onwards).

As I said, with your budget (I assume it's ~ RM2.5k), if you want touch screen, right now only Z400, Z500, M5 are available in Malaysia.
If you don't need touch screen, for gaming, best is Y400.

Personally, I think touch screen work best in hybrid laptop (those that can convert to tablet mode 1 way or another).
Otherwise, I see 2 issues:
1. Poking across keyboard is not ergonomic smile.gif
2. The hinge holding the screen and base together, if subject to too much poking poking, may loosen sweat.gif

Gaming on ultrabook? Not a good idea smile.gif (for the current gen)
Anyway, ultrabook with most powerful GPU are those models that you listed.
Acer
M5-481PTG-53316G52, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M + 20GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2999, 10-point touch, W8 (this is the M5 model currently sold by Acer Malaysia)
M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899[1.85kg], 6GB, W7HP (you may still able to find this if you look hard enough, but no new stock from Acer Malaysia)

Asus
K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD
S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP (you may not find stock easily).

RAM, you could upgrade easily (4G stick ~ RM80). Ultrabook at this level still have the necessary RAM slots for upgrade.
Price is RSP, negotiable.

The M5 models either has touch screen, or full SSD. GPU is slightly better.
The rest is just Asus price/spec advantage smile.gif
