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. |

QUOTE(devour @ Sep 15 2013, 01:12 PM) vivobook s300 will be cheapest yeah I know, but spec-per-spec not so much different. I assume the pricing (excluding SSD which can just be bought) is due to screen type? I would pay extra for higher reso, significantly better battery life and IPS (doesnt need to have all 3) but there's not so much review on cheap models. |

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? |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 15 2013, 08:30 PM) Powerful and portable? No problem XD not for gaming, buying for my sister's use.Definitely this one~ 14" 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 wouldnt the power supply be huge considering it's using 760m? I dont think she'd want that. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 16 2013, 06:51 PM) 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 thanks. How about these? Running on ULV processors and weaker GPUs  14" Sony SVF14A15SGB, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT735M + (1600x900; touch)@RM3299, 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; colors: black/silver SVF14A16SGS, i7-3537U + Nvidia GT735M + (1600x900; touch)@RM3999, 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; colors: black/silver |
