    Hi, I am looking for a ASUS Zenbook.

    I cam currently using an HP DV6 3000t laptop with an i3 M350 Processor @ 2.27 GHz.

    I really want a new laptop for light weight, and the zenbook is what I want as of now. The problem I see is that there are so many zenbooks, and I see some with 2nd generation processors. I am only using the laptop for school, notes, recordings. So battery life is important, and speed so I want an SSD, I also definitely want a backlit keyboard. Do all zenbooks have the backlit keyboard because I see so many different models.

    I am looking for an i5, but I am looking into used ones but they are costing between $400-$700 still. I would like the infinity new one coming out but that is way out of my budget, I would only need an i3 or i7. I would also only considering playing League of Legends as well.

    Does anyone have any suggestions how and where to get my hands on a Zenbook? I have looked on eBay, and craigslist for months and still no luck.

    There are used Zenbook Prime UX31A's with 4GB RAM, 128GB SSDs and an i5 3317U Processor that goes for $899.99 on some websites and even cheaper if you can get it used. If you live in a big city, use Kijiji or your local classifieds to go look for one, I found one for $700 flat that's mint, so yeah.

    Goodluck =]
