budget: up to rm3.5k
size: 13-14, ultrabook

prefer if have ssd and resolution above 1366x768

something that looks clean. good battery life is warranted with ultrabook?

Buying it for a girl. she said she wants something portable and "quick". usage, pretty much nothing other than browsing and movies.

Better pick an MBA if you want really good battery lives~

Gaming depends on the graphic card , not the processor.
And the AMD HD7670M is fully capable of handling Dota2, which is not very graphic demanding nod.gif

Thanks for recommending. I've had also these models recommended to me if I can stretch my budget :-

i) Asus N550LF-CK064H
ii) Asus S551LB-CJ120H
iii) Lenovo Y510P

Any of these worth buying if I stretched my budget? Because like any other consumer, I would like to get the best out of what I would spend. Thanks.

If you are willing to up your budget until the price range of the Y510p (RM3099), then definitely that one. Otherwise, the S550CB is good enough nod.gif

A bit of extra info

Budget: up to 4k
Preferred size: up to 15'
Preferred brand: none
usage: autocad, c++, altera

would really like something portable but capable. quite worried about the size of the power supply. I dont know how much autocad demands, so please enlighten me on it. No gaming. would like something that looks and feel good.

is it still a long way to go before we see more haswell models?

Powerful and portable? No problem XD
Definitely this one~

All sifu,

Went to have a look at both Asus X201e, Acer V5 and Lenovo S300.

In term of spec more or less than same on processor.

Really impressed by Lenovo S300, despite been 13 inch still the weight feel almost similar to holding the Asus X201e.

I suppose in term of after sales Lenovo is the one to go for?Some shop don't carry the S300 anymore because it is an 'old' model blink.gif
*
Yeah, in terms of after sales support, the S300 and the V5 will be the better pick laugh.gif
I've never seen much S300 to be honest haha laugh.gif Sometimes models may become EOL-ed before they are even marketed sweat.gif

not for gaming, buying for my sister's use.

wouldnt the power supply be huge considering it's using 760m? I dont think she'd want that.

Depending on what Autocad she will be dealing with, 3D ones will require a powerful graphic card. And when the specs are powerful, battery life will go down laugh.gif

How about these? Running on ULV processors and weaker GPUs hmm.gif

Since you already have a good Dell monitor; -kytz- is right, a notebook with a quad-core i7, lots of RAM (8-16GB) and an SSD will be good enough. That is what I am using now (although older generation tech lol) to process my D800's RAW files nod.gif

Unfortunately most of the haswell-powered quad core mobile i7 notebooks costs more than RM3k. If you really want a Haswell powered one, then closest would be this one:
14"
Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

MSI GP60-2OD, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT740M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2999, 4GB, 750GB, W8, steel series KB


If you don't mind a 3rd generationed CPU, then these:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Your budget doesn't allow SSD upgrade at this time. But the good thing is that you could always upgrade later icon_rolleyes.gif
