Hi,
I would like your recommendation on an ultrabook. 1. Preferred Brand: Not HP 2. Budget: 2500-3500 3. Usage: Software development (More RAM/CPU is must). Light gaming. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13"-15" I travel around a lot and don't prefer a heavy laptop to carry around. Weight around 1.5Kg will be ok. Thanks, Rakesh. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 18 2013, 05:41 PM) 1.5kg might be pushing it Thanks for your suggestion. If ignoring the weight prerequisite: 13" Sony Vaio SVS13135CV, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM3199[1.72kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8; colors: white/black; Vaio carrying case 14" MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3499[1.8kg], 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8 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 Toshiba Satellite U940-1001X, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA + 640GB HDD)@RM2349[1.7kg], 4GB, W8SL, backlit keyboard, 3 years local warranty (1st year on-site); color: Light blue Satellite P840t-1007X, i7-3517U + Nvidia GT630M + (1366x768;touch)@RM3999[harman/kardon], 4GB, 750GB, W8; backlit keyboard; 3 years local warranty *Prices in RRP, negotiable *I would recommend the MSI GE40, it really packs quite a punch for the price. Full-fledged CPU and GPU in a slim profile  You can upgrade the RAM to 8GB, and also upgrade the HDD to SSD later on for much reduced weight   I think MSI is more towards gaming. Any other alternative in the range 2500-4000 and weight under 2kg. |

I was talking to my friend and he asked me to consider that as well.), but maybe can consider these:14" Asus BU400VC-C3086G, i5-3337U + Nvidia NVS5200 Optimus + 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD@RM3599[1.64kg], 4GB, W8P Dell XPS 14, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + 32GB mSATA+ 500GB(5400rpm) HDD + (1600x900)@RM3849[2.1kg], 4GB, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, W8 HP Envy (Spectre) 14-3111TU, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + (1600x900 Radiance) + 128GB SSD@RM3999[1.8kg], 4GB Samsung NP700Z3C, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM3599[2.07kg], 6GB, 1TB, W7HP 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 Toshiba Satellite P840t-1007X, i7-3517U + Nvidia GT630M + (1366x768;touch)@RM3999[harman/kardon], 4GB, 750GB, W8; backlit keyboard; 3 years local warranty Satellite P840t-1010X, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + (1366x768;touch)@RM3499[harman/kardon], 4GB, 750GB, W8; backlit keyboard; 3 years local warranty *certain models don't have info on the weights and might be >2kg My vote still goes to the MSI GE40, its the best in terms of price/performance/portability Thanks. |
