1. Preferred Brand
Preferred brand will be asus or any other brand will do but not Dell!

2. Budget
My budget is around 2k to 3k. If it exceed 3k, doesn't matter, as long as it's worth to buy.

3. Usage
I am working more on programming, web surfing, general purpose, versatile performance and light gaming. I wished the weight could be light enough for me carry to university everyday, battery life is important to me, keyboard as well and the most important thing is it need to be fast for works! BTW, I'm studying for degree in software engineering currently.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
13 or 14inch! If 15 inch but the weight is light, it doesn't matter but i don't think there's one? smile.gif

If you prefer weight over performance (not really suitable for gaming):
13"
Asus [Ultrabook] UX32VD-R3001H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M + 24GB mSATA SSD + 500GB HDD@RM2999[1.45kg], 4GB, W8

Battery life should be pretty good (I'm guessing 5 hours?), no worries brows.gif
You should be more worried about if something goes wrong with the notebook since Asus's warranty support is not that stellar laugh.gif
Also, the price seemed pretty low, better be careful and make sure you are getting a new unit ya  icon_rolleyes.gif

Good huntin'

Oh god, please help! I still can't make up my mind, thought some pros have given me suggestion. I heard that Asus is bad in warranty support and Zenbook is hard to be repaired once the problem exist. So now, this is my final consideration before i getting one:

Lenovo IdeaPad U410, i5-3317U
Aspire S5-391-53314G12, i5-3317U, Intel HD4000, 128GB SSD, 4GB Ram, 13" (1366x768) @ 1.35kg
UX32VD-R3001V, i5-3317U, Nvidia GT620M, 24GB SSD + 500GB HDD, 4GB Ram, 13" (1600 x 900) @ 1.3kg

my first consideration currently is Lenovo IdeaPad U410, i5-3317U because what i heard is their keyboard design is actually quite good but im worrying about others issue, anyone out there using this model? may i get some feedback from u guys? while the second consideration still Asus UX32VD and last goes to Acer S3, as it is exceed my budget which is below 3k.
