Salam everyone. I am looking to get a laptop/Ultrabook in 60-70k. Not really looking to game on it so dedicated graphics card is not necessary HD4000 would do nicely. The important things for me are speed, boot up time and battery. So basically I need one with a good processor atlleast 4 GB ram and around 4 hrs battery time atleast. I have heard Ultrabooks have hybrid drives (ssd for OS) which allows for faster boot times. Would love to have that.

Also can you replace a normal laptop hard drive with a ssd? Waiting for valuable suggestions. And yeah please also mention where I can get the option you suggest preferably a shop in rwp/isl.

For your range, eyes closed get the Inspiron 14z Ultrabook, Fits perfectly in your range, and has very good performance and battery life.

czone and galaxy both have it, envy4 ultrabook is also nice but you have less choice for specs plus I haven't checked review for that

I checked the reviews on Dell official website for 14z and was disappointed. A LOT of people said that they were facing motherboard issues hanging issues etc on new machines.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Ended up buying the dell inspiron 14z and the envy 4. Must say I am really impressed with the envy's design.
Mods please close the thread as its purpose has been served.

sorry for replying back late. anyway so ran into issues with the 14z. the first time I shut it down was two days after having bought it. The next day I turned it on and it would not go past the Dell logo. Before that during usage it had that extremely annoying auto brightness control thing where the display dims and brightens depending on whats displaying. That was a real downer. A google search revealed that it ws something intel has implemented for saving battery but whatever it really messed up the experience and was so hard on the eyes. Before I could get around to searching for solutions the not turning on thing happened so I went back to return it.

The guys at the shop wanted to send it in wrranty but I fought and convinced them to replace it. So they gave me another one which also did not work while testing at the shop. I told them that the whole batch seems defective and then bottomline..

I exchanged the 14z with the HP Envy 4 Sleekbook.. BEST DECISION EVER Alhamdullilah!! Loving it. It has a Core i5-3317u processor, 6 GB Ram, 500 GB Hard drive and a battery life of around 5 hrs depending on usage. Not to mention the Hotness factor!! Going great for now :D

I am very happy with the envy4. I don't have much need for a dvd rom so that did not matter to me. It does get warmer than normal if the vents underneath are blocked otherwise I've not noticed any excessive heating up.
The 4+ hours battery life is really a huge plus for me. Of course that might vary depending on usage. The weight is almost the same feel wise.
Oh another thing. I felt the 14z's display had washed out colors while envy4 has better color reproduction.

yes totally agree on envy beautiful screen... Dell lacks it big time :(
But i cant compromise on heating issue coz its only reason so sale my previous amd hp g4, another point is envy4 i found has 2nd gen intel while Dell 5423 got 3rd gen means bettr graphics n light gsmes like virtua tennis4 can be played
Without much heating as 3rd gen heats less..

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
