Hello,
I've been looking into getting a laptop for university, so it is quite important that it is light.
I would like to spend $1000 or less.
I like high res, although 1366x768 is acceptable if the rest of it is good.
Portability is extremely important.
Battery life is not a great concern, >3 hours would be nice, though not necessary.
I like gaming and graphics work. So a discrete GPU is a must.
500GB is plenty as I won't be archiving on a laptop.
It would be great if it lasted 4 years for word processing although I see this as highly unlikely and so am not too concerned.
I like ASUS, Sony, HP, and Acer.
I live in New Zealand, however my parents are flying through Singapore and wish to pick one up for me.
I play games like BF3 and Skyrim at 60 FPS on my desktop, I don't mind turning down settings but it would be great if it were capable of playing at 60.
I've been looking and have noticed the Acer Aspire M5-581TG http://cnet.co/LQoG96 which has a GeForce GT 640 LE, although the i5-3317U didn't look that flashy (correct me if I'm wrong). If anybody recommends this ultrabook, can they give me a rundown on the numbers at the end (like 6814) and which of the m5's they recommend. I also noticed the Sony Vaio S series, how do they compare to the Acer?

pretty good, no? I think this is the m5
Thanks for any help,
Geoff
