Heh I'll remember ! thanks

Sorry to bother you guys again
My friend want a laptop
Preferred brand - As long as it is a famous brand
Usage - College, he say gaming isn't that important
Budget - Any
He want a touchscreen Ultrabook which can last more than 7-8 hours.
I currently introduce him a Sony VAIO Duo with upgraded battery. Or a Touchscreen Vaio T series. Sifus got any other suggestion?

Dell [Ultrabook] XPS12, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080;touch)@RM3999[1.54kg], 8GB, W8, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, build-in battery, no ODD
Lenovo [Ultrabook]IdeaPad Yoga 13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399, 4GB, 2 years; colors: grey/orange
ASUS Taichi, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD@RM3999[1.25kg][Bang & Olufsen], 4GB, dual IPS screens

actually the best choice is the sony vaio duo. if you want a laptop like convertible, the best is dell XPS 12. Lenovo Yoga also not bad, but the negative side is your keyboard will be facing outside but locked in tablet mode. ASUS Taichi has great dual screen technology but terrible screen experience in terms of colour sharpness and vibrance.

Thanks a lot for your information.

thanks bro..
if possible, i'm looking for ultrabook.. slim and light..
how bout acer m5, acer v5 and asus s56cm? is this model ok or just so-so..

Acer V5-471PG, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT710M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB, W8
Acer [Ultrabook] M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899[1.85kg], 6GB, W7HP

im not sure about acer though but for ASUS, their warranty support is haiz. actually, the lenovo Z400 is pretty slim. they are ultrabook like laptops with consumer line specifications. but the battery performance will be bad compared to other ultrabooks, as it is not an ULV processor.

thanks for the reply bro..
yeah, for asus, i've heard bout that also..
so, can you help me with this, is the touch screen really worth to have..
if yeah i think lenovo z400 is good but i need to think bout the battery life..
if its not, i think hp envy 4 is a good one..

battery life is bad for the Z400 as it is a 4-cell non-removable battery. if you want to keep up the trend, you can get the touch screen. AFAIK, touch screen laptops are just a marketing gimmick. if i want to get a touch screen, i would get hybrid laptops than touch screen laptop. as a conclusion, i dont think the touch screen is worth it.

the HP envy 4 seems good too. its pretty light and slim.

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

Here the review from Z400 user~raeimad:
"this laptop has around 4 hours or normal usage (intel HD4000) usage and around 3 hours when I played Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 on full graphics"

thanks again bro..
well, i think i just narrow it down to either acer v5, hp envy 4 and lenovo z400 then..
z400 is a good bargain but i still need to consider the battery life like u said..

Acer V5 battery life also not very good since its using lower capacity battery:37 Wh 2500 mAh 4-cell Li-ion battery pack. More details review here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-A...ok.87600.0.html
Comment by noteboocheck reviews: short battery life, because of a small battery.

Thanks bro for reply...
among this 3 model, which 1 have the good warranty bro?

dell will have the best warranty, followed by lenovo and last is ASUS.

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : below 2k ( my cousin want's it)
3. Usage : Daily use, movie, adobe PS,AI and gaming (Dota 1)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : i5 + graphic card 14"-15" + come with 8gb ram, future can update to 16gb.

thanks

i see..
then, between this acer v5 vs lenovo z400 which one is better?
in terms of warranty and performance wise.. ignore battery life..
also, hp envy 4 is better than this two.. is it?
can all this three laptop upgradeable like ram, ssd..

thanks again bro..
i think i just narrow it down to either 15r and z580...
actually i interested in lenovo y400...but i just confused if it worth for me to buy it.
