Currently i have a Clevo 17 inch PW370EM a beast!!! very good, very powerful!
but i'll pass it on to my younger brother who will make the most out of it! I'm not using it/ playing as much as I first intended.
So now I'm looking for a smaller, lighter, with better battery life than my current clevo (1 hour... :S its not a laptop... its a mobile desktop!!) but still with a dedicated graphic card!
that is why i was looking into some ultrabooks:
- Asus UX303LN (13.3) (this seems to be the one!!!) - where could I buy this one in the UK?
- i was also told about Clevo W840SN wich seems nice as well, but i'm not sure if it would be a good choice.. (still taking it in consideration)
I also looked at few others as the kirabook, thinkpad yoga...
the main thing is that im looking for a more stylish laptop, with 13....14 inch screen, no less than 13, no bigger than 14. With dedicated graphic card that can last for some time. don't want to solely rely on the intel HD graphs
Also, I will want to use a Linux distribuion as OS. Hopefully everything will work fine. So far I think that only the League Of Legends doesn't have official support for linux.
please fell free to sugest any laptop that may be close to what I intend and give any advice on any direction please!
Thank you
