Hey guys, help me out here (total noob), as I have been pretty much out of the loop for the past few years... and generally not as geeky as I think I am anymore...
The cmpt I am still rocking on is still DuoCore (2007), lol not even Core2Duo, so suffice to say, it is time for something new.
I do need the portability, so desktop is out of the question, I am planning on getting
Asus ZENBOOK Prime UX31A-DH71T-CA w/ Core i7-3517U, 4GB, 256GB SSD, 13.3in FHD Touch, Win 8 64-bit
Asus ZENBOOK Prime UX31A-DH71T-CA w/ Core i7-3517U, 4GB, 256GB SSD, 13.3in FHD Touch, Win 8 64-bit at Memory Express
For $1099
At that price, should I be looking at anything else? Or this is the best bang for the buck so far? (I know I missed the $799 (non-touchscreen ver.) sale fail -.-)
to me
the sleek, light weight body is a +, as I will be taking this thing in and out and around alot, I am kind of worried about the 4GB ram, especially if the video card isnt a standalone. But I wont be gaming at all with it. The touch Screen is not a huge thing for me, but hey why not right? My most intensive use out of it will be Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5, granted not running at the same time. I get away with light room 95% of the time, and Photoshop only when necessary. Illustrator is more for work than anything else. Other than that, I think it will just be 1080p playback that will actually/might work the cmpt hard.
I know asus is known about heat issues, so does anyone own one of these to let me know some first hand experience?
Sorry for the long post and random questions, and TIA
=P Help a fellow RSer out to find the right laptop/ultrabook?
