*Do take note that Asus Malaysia's warranty support is not good

Yeah your budget is certainly good enough haha laugh.gif

Although its one generation-earlier, I would recommend you to try and look for the high quality XPS13 (Maybe can ask putochip123 whether he has access to them or not)- more reliable, though in the end whether a notebook lasts or not depends on a little bit of luck, and how u take care of it nod.gif

If you cannot find this, then try and get the Inspiron 14 7000, and extend warranty to 3 years, that'll guarantee you at least 3 years brows.gif Can look for bro putochip123 or viper88 for the purchase~

which would u really recommend based on the list u suggested and why ? and what do u mean by higher quality XPS13 ?

If based on the ones in the list, I'd definitely go for the XPS13 laugh.gif
Its one of the best ultrabooks in its class.. the current versions are ~Rm500 more expensive with FullHD touchscreens & 2x longer battery lives- definitely worth considering if you don't have budget constraints nod.gif Try to look for "putochip123" and see how cheap he can give you brows.gif

Which part of "higher quality" do you not understand mate? haha laugh.gif
Its made out of carbon fibre yo, very light, yet solid... you can use it to hit people if you want nod.gif
Of course, it comes with a full SSD, so expect very fast performance and reliability nod.gif

The notebook is very well designed, with very a comfortable keyboard with tactile keys~
This notebook is on my wishlist haha, and I've already recommended it two of my friends, and needless to say, they love it  wub.gif

*Of course, for your budget you can consider the Apple MacBook Air 13 too, the XPS13's biggest rival

do u know any shop in lowyat which has wide range of ultrabooks (dell /asus ) as in display ? cause i prefer to buy thru shops and test it before buying haha
