Hi Sifus, need recommendation for my laptop

1. Preferred Brand : Nont in mind
2. Budget : not more than 5k
3. Usage : graphic editing, blogging, light programming, presentation and surfing (touch screen, maybe)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 13" (I need it to be portable, as currently my AW is hard to carry around)

Been thinking to get MBP 13, still undecided, anyone care to enlighten me abit? Thanks.

If you want a true performance machine (slightly heavier than the ones above though):
Illegear Configure Illegear units here: http://www.illegear.com/
13"
Illegear RE-13 Pro, i5-4200M + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080 IPS)@RM3999[2kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), Backlit Keyboard, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4900MQ]

*get an OS, upgrade to i7 processor, upgrade to at least 8GB RAM, extend warranty to 3 years/upgrade to SSD
*
Really detailed ones, Judging on the price vs spec .. Yoga2 is the best buy? I'll skip illegear as it's heavy as I need to walk with it .. daily.
