Ultrabook for a future student

[Alterlenin]

Hello,

 

Soon I'll leave Eastern Europe for a colder country, and now a laptop is almost a necessity. That means that I'll have to get rid of my old desktop. What ultrabook do you say I should buy?

 

I have some preferences tho: illuminated keyboard; touchscreen; it should be able do to mondane tasks such as skype, blu-ray movie playback, some music and a heavy load of youtube (so 1080p should run smoothly), I don't play games.

 

So far, I've found this. What do you think?

 

Appreciate your responses!

What about the gpu? For example, I've found a lenovo, nice specs but with a 5500 intel hd integrated chip.

I made a small list of ultrabooks you might like:

 

Asus Zenbook UX301LA-C4005H

Toshiba Portégé Z30t-A-11N

Toshiba Portégé Z30t-A-10E

 

For blu-ray playback you WILL need an external blu-ray player on any ultrabook provided you actually have them on discs.

 

As for GPU, it doesn't really matter. Any modern GPU can handle 1080p video on YouTube. FUN FACT: I even tried 1080p YouTube videos on a graphics card from 2000. It kinda worked, but if that thing can do it...

Oh, ok. Thank you guys very much!

 

L.E.: Found this baby.
