ultrabooks are not recommended for long hours gaming. 2-4 hours gaming are long enough for ultrabooks (my 2 cent). more than that, im worried that it might damage the hardware after a year or so. however, if you like to, i can still put come choices.

at least some recommendations bro.

Lenovo Z400 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2399, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

2kg is pretty light enough.

i can still watch full hd videos with my lousy 1280x800 screen.

1080p screen isnt necessary as long you have 1366x768 unless you are an enthusiast.

it was definitely the seller trying to make you worry. SSD warranty and laptop warranty walk their own way. unless upon installing the SSD by inexperienced technician (or yourself) and made damages to the laptop, then the warranty will only be voided.

sorry for the loss of your acer. anyway, here are some suggestions :

Dell Inspiron 15, i3-3227U + AMD HD7670M@RM1649[2.25kg], Win8SL, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)
Dell Inspiron 15, i3-2117U + Intel HD4000@RM1299[2.25kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

suggest you take this

you get core i3 ULV which is enough for your mmorpg games.

other than business type laptops, consumer line laptops are mostly glossy screen. unless you can find a matte screen layer for such laptop. anyhow, some suggestions :

Lenovo Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty
Dell Inspiron 15, i5-3337U + AMD HD7670M@RM1849[2.25kg], Win8SL, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

this hot cake model will suit you.
extend warranty and upgrade RAM usually need around RM300, since this laptop currently comes with 2 years warranty.

or you might like the new Microsoft Surface Pro, which priced at around RM3000. prices are RSP and negotiable.

Surface RT will be released this thursday if im not wrong. for Pro, not sure about it.

you shouldnt worry as windows RT and windows 8 are just the same. windows RT is specially designed to run on ARM devices, while windows 8 is designed to run on x86 x64 processors. also be noted that surface rt and pro is not a netbook, it is a hybrid tablet/laptop. and yes, RT may be more sucker compared to windows 8.

sorry for my mistake. here you go for the differences between Windows RT and Windows 8

im not a seller. im a laptop recommended at this forum.

the surface pro is not arriving to malaysia yet but the surface RT will be this saturday.

Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty
Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT625M@RM1649[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell; W8SL@RM1899
ASUS [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX060V, B987 + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD

prices are RSP and negotiable.

be noted that that is a pentium dual core ULV processor. so thats why it is cheaper than the core i version.

depends on user. if you want the removable battery feature, go for Z580. Z400/Z500 battery is removable when the back cover is disassembled.

doesnt void warranty unless you damaged the parts.

around 80% of the shops malaysia wide provide RAM upgrading. if you buy it at lowyat, then you have the more chance to do so. no matter how hard is the laptop's disassembly, they will still do it because they want to earn money.
