Usage - work, microsoft programs, lots of browser tab and games (Diablo 3 and CS:GO mainly) 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" I am looking at: y410p I am trying to look for something below 2kg and is powerful enough, bee looking real long and seems like my budget wont allow it. Hopefully sifu tells me otherwise. I commute to work every day therefore I need a light laptop scared back break. lol

The only problem is it is 4GB of RAM for me, I always wanted something more RAM so can last longer. I love the XPS 13 but for the price of RM4,599 being the cheapest. I am still thinking very hard about it sigh. Decision. I put my budget at RM3k and now can't get any good ultrabook sigh
