Not sure if there's such an business ultrabook at that price. Any suggestions from other sifus?  laugh.gif

Not really business, I edited my post a bit, because is mainly usage at mentioned over there, surfing internet wifi because outdoor mostly like at kopitiam or starbuck area, and then light video streaming like watching some short 5-10min video or maybe youtube, then mostly work on microsoft office like word or powerpoint, do some email, so that is why Battery last long and Weight must be light enough like ultrabook type to carry or run around.

Previously bought one Asus S400CA for my friend, but before thought of getting the same one, must ask all the SiFu around here for other choice. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Hi Sifu, I read some news from CNet regarding the Haswell Processors that less battery hunger than the current one? So should we hold off to buy new laptop if we are not urgent on it?

[PF T.J.] do you know where to buy this?
ASUS VivoBook S400 Screen Protector

Because my friend who bought the S400 asking me where to get Screen Protector sweat.gif

Also, this model,
K46CB-WX060H – 14” / i5-3337U / 2GB / 750GB / GT740 2G / W8
Does this come with Windows 7 model? Because no touchscreen using W8 is painful.

Oh man, my turn to buy a new laptop, currently using CQ40 LCD screen like the horror movie "The Ring" TV splashing. rclxub.gif

1) Illustrator/Photoshop CS3 (daily), FormatFactory Video Converting (monthly), Internet (daily), Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint (daily), YouTube (daily)
2) More mobility type so that I can carry around without too heavy, so 13" too small for me designing, 15.6" too big for me carrying, so best size is 14"
3) Reliable, but now a days I don't expect laptop can use more than 3years sweat.gif
4) ODD and SSD are optional (I do burn CD quite a while monthly)
5) RM2,000 more or less
So I been watching this Asus model study around its spec, so is there still have any alternative brand for Lenovo/Acer similar to this spec?

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

From Asus, pretty much only that one.

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

Another interesting choice is this:
Toshiba
Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty

The Toshiba come with 3 year warranty, and both the Lenovo and Toshiba has ODD.
Lenovo and Toshiba warranty service is better than Asus smile.gif
Both are ~ 2.2kg, not as light as the K46CB  hmm.gif

I think I just stick with K46CB-WX060H since is lighter than the 2 model you mentioned. So is it possible to add RAM and then do this package bundle with Backpack? hmm.gif

Aww.... Well then, I guess I just go for K46CB. This model come with 2GB, so still got one more slot left right? I can just upgrade into 6GB by putting 4GB is it? hmm.gif

Another side question:
Intel Core i5 3337U VS Intel Core i5 3230M
Q: Intel Core i5 3230M do slightly better than the i5 3337U in Gaming right?

Hi to all SiFu here, I wanna ask, any big difference between this two model except for the Haswell Processors?
I was dilemma with these model by looking at their spec on paper. I'm alright with these 2 model design after search some online photo. Any big different on the GPU?

1) Lenovo S410p 5939-0707 – 14” Touch / i5-4200U / 4GB / 500GB / GT720M 2G / W8
2) Lenovo Z400T 5936-6604 – 14” Touch / i5-3230M / 4GB / 1000GB / GT740M 2G / W8

My Usage: Illustrator/Photoshop, Net Surfing, Video Converting/Editing, Word/P.Point/Excel, Light Gaming.
Add-on: Battery life (the more the better) + Light weight (the less the better)

Dear nexus2238 & [PF T.J.] Sifu,

I just bought myself a new Lenovo Z400T few days ago, because can't wait of the Z400T Haswell refresh, somemore price drop from RRP 2399 to 2199 already, so end up bought it. tongue.gif

So the question is, should I extend for another 1 year Lenovo warranty service? I most of the time use this laptop within Malaysia. hmm.gif
