Hi all

I've have been looking around for a while now and have had little luck, i am after a windows 8 convertible/hybrid/ultrabook that has dedicated graphics GT630M and above (i am not fussed about either amd or nvidia as long as it runs well)

I wanted a tablet (surface/ativ pc pro/transformer book) but the HD4000 wont cut it for games like CSS / Dota 2 / Civ 5.
The razer edge has a 1 hour battery life which seem as counter-intuitive for something sold as a portable gaming platform

So ive narrowed it down to ASUS S550 or ACER M3 both have dedicated graphics and touchscreen (intel i5 min).
Are there any other options i have missed? Id have liked it if the asus taichi or yoga had dedicated graphics but the HD4000 is annoying me...

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Budget upper limit would be 1.6k but i would hope to spend about 1k, from Australia though buying online isnt an issue.

I would prefer high resolution (1920) but 1336 would suffice as i wouldnt be gaming with extreme resolutions on a 10-15" screen and a decent (4 hours or more) battery life would be prefered.

thanks in advance
