Price: 3K +/-

Resolution: 1080p
CPU: At least i5 (5th or 6th or 7th gen)
GPU: At least a decent discrete GPU (Optional)

Actually I don't mind old models, as long as it suffice the above requirements, I'll be really glad.

I'm currently looking at these models: (The closest I could find)

1. Vostro 14 5468 (RM 3400)
http://www.dell.com/my/p/vostro-14-5468-la...-14-5468-laptop
- Pros:
a. Good 7th gen CPU clocked up to 3.1Ghz (3MB cache)
b. 256GB SSD
c. GPU GeForce 940MX 4GB
d. 8GB RAM
e. Seems to have weak battery life, I'm not sure.
f. 1.66 KG

- Cons:
a. Resolution at 1366 x 768

2. Acer Aspire S 13 (RM 3400)
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/model...ptops/aspires13
- Pros:
a. Decent 6th gen CPU clocked up to 2.8Ghz (3MB cache)
b. 256GB SSD
c. IPS Display 1080p (Crispy )
d. 8GB RAM
e. Seems to have very good battery life (Media powerhouse)
f. Lightweight at 1.30 KG

- Cons
a. No dedicated GPU (Should be okay actually, not planning to play games)
b. RAM cannot be upgraded (Should also be okay)
c. Have to live with 256GB SSD storage (Upgrade-able)
d. No CD ROM (Also okay with this)

3. Acer Aspire F5 (RM 3500)
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/model/NX.GDASM.001
- Pros:
a. Good 7th gen CPU clocked up to 3.5Ghz (4MB cache)
c. 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD (Very nice, I wish it has higher SSD configuration, I love speeds btw)
c. GPU 950M 4GB (I love to see this, but I doubt I'll be using it for intense gaming)

- Cons:
a. Less pixel density 1080p (15.7" display, not an IPS display either so I expect the image to be less sharp and less vivid)
b. Mediocre battery life (Not as good as Acer Aspire S 13 but again it comes with dedi GPU)
c. 4GB RAM (A little too less in my opinion,upgrade-able though)
d. Less portable at 2.40KG (It's also thicker in size and heavier)

Senpai, please recommend.
Feel free to drop more models, I'm still doing my research to get the bang for the buck.
Thank you!

ps Anyone has pricing for Asus Zenbook?
