Dear Sifus,
Thank you for sharing your time & expertise here, it is really helpful for noobs like me to make better and more informed choice
I originally thought to get Illegear Z5 due to its relative value and positive reviews, however after further consideration i realize i probably won't be a heavy gamer, combined with the windows o/s purchase costs, the total costs became much higher than anticpated.
Recently the PORTABILITY of ultrabooks seem quite appealing to me while seemingly capable machines in their own right
ASUS Zenbook (high value for it's cost)
HP Spectre (the brown and champagne one just looks sexy)
DELL XPS13 (good reviews for windows ultrabook)
I'm still open to getting a laptop with larger screen instead of an ultrabook and my intended needs are as follows:
USAGE
Primarily Office Work with many tabs open, video streaming and it would be a nice bonus play the occasional casual DOTA2 (Max settings not a must)
It has to serve as my personal media hub, connecting multiple bluetooth devices and other hardware such as bluetooth headphones, monitor screens, speakers, keyboard and mouse, therefore the ability to control and switch between my devices is important (a good docking solution would be an option, the Dell Thunderbolt supported XPS seemed interesting)
Keyboard and Trackpad
SCREEN
High quality screen, 4k not really a must (unless it's highly advisable to get it)
Preferably Anti-Glare and Matte
Touch screen is nice bonus but not a must
CPU
Probably looking for at least an i5, but willing to consider the lower powered M-Chips
RAM
At least 8 GB
GPU
Dedicated GPU would be nice
PORTS
Ideally more than 2 USB ports and good built-in bluetooth
HDD
250 GB m2 SSD
500 GB SATA (not a must)
LOOKS & FEEL
Either sleek and subtlly sexy or more personality
I don't quite like the Lenovo Thinkpad look
BUDGET
5 - 6k and if interest free installment plan is attractive, can go abit more
O/S must be included preferably with MS office as part of the deal
If include good, capable Docking Solutions even better, can consider increasing the budget

Asus Zenbook Pro UX501VW-FY029T *i7/8G/512G/GT960* (15” FHD) arrive in Malaysia not long ago.
http://www.lelong.com.my/25-01-asus-zenboo...7-01-Sale-P.htm
Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor
8GB DDR3L RAM
512GB SSD
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX960M with 4GB GDDR5
15.6" 16:9 IPS FHD (1920x1080)
2.06 kg with Battery
2 years Asus Warranty
I have a Zenbook UX305FA Core M/8GB/256GB/1.2KG 13.3" FHD matt cost RM2900. I can play league of legend in FHD 1080 with low details/shadow with decent frames, Data2 is probably going to be more demanding and I dont think core m can handle it, maybe with 720p its ok, just google it.
I dont play LOL anymore but I prefer something fast/portable, Zenbook Core M suits my purpose as its fast enough for all my needs, heavy web-brousing and office applications dont see the difference with core M, i3, i5 or i7, core m is between a i3 - i5 laptop speed wise.
Another plus is this laptop is completely silent, no fans or hdd.
Its a shame Malaysia dont have the UX305 with version i5/i7 or i5/940M both 13.3" FHD/FHD+, more expensive tho but much cheaper then the Zenbook pro.
