i need a laptop for school work, light gaming, and casual use.

I got the ASUS ZenBook UX305 and I'm loving it (given I got it a week ago...). At work we got 20 Surfaces ($200-300 cheaper each mind you), and they just aren't that fast. I did get the UX305 i5-5200U though.

I got the ~$850 version. Here is the exact Amazon link.

 

I think there is a Core M-5Y70 version (or at least Core M something-something), that I wasn't very interested in. Although, it was ~$150 cheaper.
