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.

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

So i3-3217u 1.8ghz + amd 7670m + 4gb ram is able to play dota 2 w/medium setting smoothly rite?

I tried google and youtube... just always see game test with i3-2xxxm and i3-3xxxm with 630m and 7670m above...

I noe dota 2 is not really demanding on graphics... just afraid i3-3217u is nt able to support it well as it have only 1.8ghz maximum..

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

dota 2 is not cpu intensive game, so 1.8ghz is not a problem for it. smile.gif

mSATA SSD is a RAM like module that is inserted into the mSATA port of a particular motherboard or laptop and provide the performance of a SSD. you can call it a mini form of SATA SSD, while SSD is a normal variant that has the size of a normal laptop hard disk, which is 2.5" form factor. albeit that, the SATA port itself is different from mSATA ones.

keep in mind that mSATA is generally more expensive than normal SSDs.
