Still on the [h]unt for a new ultrabook to replace an aging Dell Latitude E6500 for consult work and possibly light gaming.
Been searching online and reading through this forum at what most of you all are looking at. I finally got a chance to go to BestBuy and get a hands on feel for some ASUS and HP machines but then I came across this Sony machine:
Sony VAIO Flip14a
It was just about everything I was looking for in an Ultrabook:
14" screen
1920x1080 res
core i5 (minimum)
8GB RAM
Only thing I was slightly bummed about was the 5400 rpm HDD and the Intel® HD Graphics 4400. While these aren't complete deal breakers, it could serve it's purpose none the less.
Anyone have any experience with this laptop or anything similar?
As stated before, this will mainly be for basic work tasks and light gaming. Maybe try DOTA2, LoL, and SC2 or AoC if I can play these with medium settings at least.
Other contender was a Yoga 2 Pro, but that was at about $1250 and the Sony is $800... However the Yoga 2 did come with a 256GB SSD and a core i7.
Thoughts?
