Best Portable machine in 130,000-140,000

[ahmadtahir]

Hi!

I am looking for a powerful portable machine preferably ultrabook and in a case I can't find a powerful ultrabook then a slim laptop, the budget is around 130,000-140,000, but I'd like to save some cash for a portable HDD to compensate low storage space due to SSD. Main purpose is image processing and computer vision related work, some computer graphics work, HD movies and internet surfing, absolutely no gaming, so the things I am looking in descending priority are

1- Processing power
2- Portability
3- Battery Life
4- Good sensitive and precise trackpad

I found only 3 ultrabooks available locally Acer Aspire S5, ASUS Zenbook UX31, Samsung Series 9 but none of them has the required horse power, I can increase my budget if needed. Absolutely no Apple recommendations please, hate Apple with a passion due to their stupid lawsuits......

Any help is appreciated, any comments from ultrabook owners are highly appreciated.

Regards.

Alienware? Ever heard of it? Oh wait, 130k budget! For 129k (from HSN) you can get a crappy small Alienware M11X or for 160k you could get Alienware M14X R2 from HSN. If not then the Samsung Series 7 Gamer, even if you don't need to game, that laptop is a beast.

Thanks for your reply, but Alienware is overpriced crap..... And the laptops with gaming tag do not fall into my requirements i.e. portability.....

I think I might buy this....

Well dude, if you like it then buy it, I just don't like it because it's too small for me, if you have no problem with the 13" size then go ahead and buy it cause it's got great specs

Thanks for your reply but what advantages will it give me over other "half the price-still more powerfull" machines...... I already have a macbook and it is the worst crap I ever bought....... the only reason ppl buy Apple products is "it's expensive, so it must be better", or I would like to hear from you why do you prefer a macbook over other reasnably priced machines........ The only reasonably priced Apple product is Macbook Air but I still am not interested because as I stated earlier I hate Apple with a passion because of their stupid lawsuits.......

Half the price? What half the price? A MacBook Air is for 130,000Rs. Half the price laptop would be Dell Inspiron or HP DV6 series. Do you really want me to tell you why a MacBook air is better than those pieces of shit laptops? You want portability, battery life and a good track pad, well I got news for you, MacBook Air is one of the thinnest, most beautiful laptops out there. Full aluminum unibody construction with THE BEST trackpad and keyboard out there. You also get 7-8 hours of battery life + SSD storage. As for processor, the new MacBooks come with Ivy Bridge CPUs. You don't get any more powerful than that.

I don't know WTF Macbook you bought that is the worst crap ever. Probably some fake.

I'm sorry I thought you wanted a quality notebook. If you're running after specs then a MacBook isn't for you.

See, "it's expensive so it's better".........

If I am paying almost double I want to know why, easy to say quality notebook and harder to prove.... My Macbook not even after 1 month started to crack from hinges and Apple refused to replace it claiming that you misused it and when you search on even Apple forums there are literally hundreds of same stories, you can check those stories here, here...... Apple is the most evil company which only cares for money.......

 

[Lord Ammar]

I don't even know what 'crack from the hinges' even mean. And where did I say MacBook is indestructible? You obviously don't know how to use a laptop that you actually managed to break it from the hinge. If you treat it like shit you should get one of those rugged laptops Dell sells which looks like shit but can withstand a truck. Which Apple laptop do you own anyway?

Tell you what, you obviously hate Apple, why don't you go ahead and purchase a HP laptop worth 140,000 Rs? A 140k laptop which is has just about the cheapest built quality, and cheesiest looks I've seen on a laptop.

This is what I meant, and this is not only me but hundreds of other users, you would have known if you had cared to check out the links I posted before...... I have macbook late 2010......

What exactly you mean when you say quality, all the components are same processor, ram, hdd, gpu, their screens are made by Samsung/LG, the remaining is just a body, yeah a notebook used with extremely care not even transported anywhere nor dropped a single time and got hinges broken in a month, that's quality baby.... thats what you pay double for.......

Now you are just trying to praise how beautiful an Apple is and demeaning others when I showed you same/better specs in half the price, you are just embarrasing yourself........

OMG that is the old plastic MacBook. It's discontinued because it sucked. Ainween main fazul behas lage hue ho. I'm asking you to get a MacBook PRO or AIR not a 2 year old model.
You're the one who's embarrassing himself by demeaning MacBooks because his sucky two year old discontinued model died on him.

Just a heads up, the DV series from HP is even worse than this old MacBook.

Dude he must have bought it two years ago, not now and he knows macbook sucks. If he does buy mackbook now, after two years it may again have some kind of problem so you might say who said you to buy a crappy old laptop which is a two year old discontinued model. You know what, two years ago that model wasn't even discontinued and how could the OP know that it was going to be discontinued??? So just think in two years time apple can discontinue macbook air of 2012... who knows!
