Hi Guys
after searching far and wide, I'm torn between what I want to get as a portable laptop for work/general traveling. I have a decent desktop tower at home, and have had an Alienware M11X for years now, I want something that is portable with decent battery life, and can handle some low res gaming. my budget is somewhat flexible, but generally below $1300 (unless there's good reason to go slightly above).
Some top candidates are:
Lenovo yoga 2 pro
macbook air 13"
Samsung Ativ book 9
Surface pro 2
Zenbook UX301LA-C4006H (i5 model w/ 1080p touchscreen, donno if it'll be available in US)
So what do you guys think? should I wait for a low-end zenbook infinity to come out (really love that build), or get one of the others? FYI if I do go for the macbook air I will bootcamp it at minimum, and use windows 7/8.1 most of the time.
