dont quite get it. do you mean a laptop that has windows installed on SSD? if thats the case, they will be out of your budget.

anyway, the one that sifu TJ suggested comes with mSATA SSD installed as a caching SSD.

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

yes i mean it.

Asus VivoBook S551LB-CJ077H 15.6" Laptop/ Notebook
Asus S550CB-CJ102H VivoBook 15.6"

Which better if i only play dota2?

both is good for dota 2 as it is not a cpu intensive game.
if you can pay more for the haswell processor, then you can get it.

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~

MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3499[1.8kg], 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Use remaining budget to upgrade RAM to 8GB, and perhaps upgrade the HDD to SSD

Yeah, in terms of after sales support, the S300 and the V5 will be the better pick
I've never seen much S300 to be honest haha Sometimes models may become EOL-ed before they are even marketed

Hmm... can't quite decide between Z500 and Satelite L40, any major difference?

thanks ya... but i google it a lot of people says that dota 2 is quite cpu intensive? I dont really know about this...

so I have 2 problem after tis...
how to know the games is cpu intensive or not?
and
i3-3217u and i5-3317u have very much difference while running dota 2?
i know that 3317u can overclocks but 3217u cannot.

major difference is the warranty life and processor used. the processor on the Toshiba is an ULV processor (weaker), which is used to save battery life and has 3 years warranty, compared to Lenovo's 2 years warranty.

if lets say dota 2 is very lag under single core CPU but very smooth under dual core, means it is CPU intensive and will be bottlenecked by weak processors.

for the 2 processors, no, not very much difference but the integrated graphics (Intel HD4000) has different speed.

Hi... May I know what's the price of this Dell laptop?

http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-3521/...en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

i3-3217U processor (3M Cache, 1.8 GHz, with 1GB Discrete base)
Ubuntu Linux 12.04
4GB DDR3L 1600Mhz
AMD Radeon™ HD 7670M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM
15.6"
500 GB SATA

ya I know, as of now in Malaysia Sony Vaio Duo 13 is the only Full HD laptop with stylus I think, the others aren't available yet, that's why was seriously considering it.

went to Low Yat just now, Sony was promoting it in the concourse, played with it, decided against it due to 2 deal breakers: 1st is it only comes in 128GB, 2nd is I think the form factor is unwieldy, the sliding mechanism feels a bit flimsy.

checked out the other ultrabooks, none of them seems to feel really good, also 4th gen Intel processor will be coming soon so most of them will be updated soon, including Acer Aspire S7, Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13, Dell XPS 12 and Asus Zenbook (which wasn't on display ). all of them don't have a very good trackpad (maybe a Windows problem), Sony Vaio Pro 13 has a pretty good display though.

at the end of it I think I'll just forgo touchscreen and go with a MacBook, it still feels to me the most well built and the one that gets the basics performing well (definitely the best trackpad), and man the retina display just looks stunning, comparing the display to MBA's makes me do not want to get an MBA.

think I'll prolly borrow someone's laptop to use and wait for the retina MBP to be updated and then get it.
