1. Preferred Brand: Non-Apple
2. Budget: ∞
3. Usage: Web browsing, document browsing, low task load but requires good battery stamina, portable
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Under 14"
I know my demand for a laptop might sound a little impossible, but is there anything out there that has the battery life of a Macbook Air while keeping its form factor as small as possible?
I'm eyeing at the Zenbook UX301LA, however the battery life is not up to par, doesn't come with a gigabit LAN (thou it comes with a USB to ethernet converter)
I need to buy something portable, slim, battery efficient, looks nice and presentable. Only need to open documents and surf net. Preferably SSD or Hybrid. IPS screen is a bonus. Touch screen is optional.
Must be Windows fine with FreeDos, but it must be a non Apple.
Thanks

Add: Will the UX302LG have shorter battery life as compared to the UX301LA due to the graphic card? Assuming both is on low load like net surfing.
the reason macbook air got >12 hours battery life with its form factor is because it is run under mac OSX. if bootcamp with windows 7/8/8.1, the battery life becomes 8~9 hours only, or maybe less...
after some research last time, found out the macbook air even the keyboard and trackpad use low power SPI, together with LPDDR3 ram, low power processor, less power hogging OS, then only can obtain such battery life....
