Greetings peeps,

Would need some advise, need to get a new laptop .

1. Preferred Brand : Any brand

2. Budget around 3k

3. Usage : Work/movies/ games like SC2

4. Preferred size : anything around 13 inch would do /touch screen /ultra slim / aluminium casing

Need an ultra slim one non plastic .

I'm actually considering K46CM-i5 by Asus[I] albeit its not touch screen, but i was thinking bout chipping in around around 1k to see whether i could get an ultra slim laptop with touch screen .

Any suggestions ?

Would really appreciate some advise .

Thanks

i checked the models that you recomended me , the Asus ultra book and the dell notebook does not have touch screen. im quite interested in the lenovo z400, but it seems quite bulky at 2.4kg...

Alright thank you very much .

Just 1 question though, does the SSD of 20 or 24 GB play a huge difference in terms of performance ?

thanks !

Hey guys, these are the few models im actually considering, especially the Lenovo z400 after hearing quite positive reviews on that said item ,

But i would need some opinion on the VIVOBOOK S550CM-i5 by ASUS which was reccomended by my friend . the price is around RM2.6k with touch screen. but i actually like the one with the smaller screen of 14 inches , but the graphics cards is Intel HD4000 compared to a nvia geforce 635M.

in terms of performance, the intel HD4000 graphic cards, is it sufficient to play games like SC2 ?

and the vivo book is it ok overall ? as i dont find much threads about the vivobook s550cm compared to the Z400 lenovo.

Would appreciate some feedbacks : )

Thanks !

intel HD4000 is capable of playing most decent games at the lowest settings. even Microsoft Surface Pro is capable at playing GS:GO at low-mid settings at 1280x720 with 35+ fps.

S550CM-i5 by ASUS against the z400 Lenovo. Raymond you got any feedbacks ok that Asus model ?
