If you do gaming at highest settings, don't get the UX305. It doesn't have a dedicated GPU. So, not so recommended.
This Asus K401 will suit your usage. 1.65kg. Slim and light. Comes with a decent GPU for max settings in the games you play. Good enough for a long run. But no back-lit laugh.gif
Asus K401U-BFR011T 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT940M, W10H) RM2.6k/-

erm but i played before with my old compact presario cq40 with 2ghz pentium 4gb ram and intergrated graphics. i'm only corncerning if the ux305 will heat up and cause damage to the laptop.

Yes. GST inclusive. You can also find K401-B at 2.5k GST inclusive. Just saw it in both Brightstar and Techypermart

what does the B at the end of k401 stands for? stands for the i5 6200u version?

do you know if they have any shops in cheras? or i'll just opt to buy from original store then.
