You need to make sure the connecting port (VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort ... ) are available at both the laptop / tablet and your secondary output though Acer V5-473PG-54204G50, i5-4200 + Nvidia GT740M +(1366x768;touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB,W8 *no OD (at ~ 2kg, not really that light) V5-132P-3322Y6G50b, i3-3229Y + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768)@RM1799, 6GB, 500GB, W8 (Have to swap HDD to SSD aftermarket) V5-171-53312G50s, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000@RM1799, 2GB, 500GB, W8 (Have to swap HDD to SSD aftermarket) P3-171-3322Y2G06, i3-3322y + Intel HD + 60GB SSD + (1366x768 IPS;touch)@RM1999, 2GB, W8 (SSD is small and not easy to upgrade aftermarket) Dell Vostro 5460, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA SSD + 500GB(5400rpm))@RM2199[1.54kg], 4GB, W8SL, 3 cell (running time on battery is not long. Have to swap HDD to SSD aftermarket). Samsung Series 7 Ultra, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2999[JBL][1.46kg], 4GB, W8 (over your budget) ATIV Smart, Z2760 + Intel GMA + (1366x768; touch) + 64GB SSD@RM2499[774g w/o keyboard], 2GB, stylus, W8 (It's on Atom, SSD is small and not easy to upgrade aftermarket) Prices are RSP, negotiable. Hi, Thank you for your recommendation. After much consideration, I think Dell XPS would suit my needs. Do you have any knowledge in terms of its battery life of XPS 13 vs XPS 14? Also, any pros and cons in between XPS 13 vs XPS 14? Thank you.

Larger battery, will run longer if Nvidia GPU don't kick in. Killer Wireless Card. Have HDMI, LAN port. XPS13 - very much lighter. Longer battery running time if XPS14 kick in the GPU. Some already spec with a very good FHD display. Hi Nexus, Thank you for the information. Are you saying XPS14 only can support up to 1600x900 reso? as compared to XPS13 which can support up to 1920x1080 reso? Can you please advice? Thanks.
