Lenovo offers better warranty support than Asus nod.gif
Can consider the Z400, which is pretty much the best budget gaming notebook at the moment:
14"
Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

If you take business, you will probably find most of the softwares that you need to run are for Windows OS. So if you want to buy an MBA and run Win OS using bootcamp, by all means. But your budget will not get you a MBA smile.gif

For "smoothness" in multi-tasking, put in more RAM (normally can upgrade aftermarket, usually won't void hardware warranty, 4G stick ~ RM90), but more importantly, opt for (or change HDD to) full SSD (solid state drive). SSD 128G ~ RM300+/-, 256G ~ RM600+/-.

Asus
K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD

Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty
S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199

Sony
SVF14218SG, i5 3317U, 4GB RAM, GT 740M 1GB GDDR3, 500GB HDD, W8, 1366x768, RM2399

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
After the RAM and SSD upgrade, still within your budget.
