    How's the i5 4200U for light gaming like Minecraft, LoL and CS:GO?

    How's the screen on the laptop, is it bright, deep colored and does it bleed light? Viewing angles okay?

    And finally is there any throttling with the laptop?

    Thanks :D

    This is not good for gaming. I haven't done it but the UX303la would be better and it cost the same. However, the i7 model is only 200.00 more and that would be great for gaming.

    Is it even possible to buy that right now? The UX31LA is $899.99 plus tax in Canada, at the moment, although an 840M sounds fantastic.

    This model is no longer offered in the US by Microsoft Store online.
