Hi everyone,
I hope it's ok to ask the following questions...
I'm looking to buy a laptop small light and with dedicated graphic card.
At first, and still as 1st option, i'm considering the asus ux303ln.
as this is not available in the uk, at least there is no scheduled date for it to be sold here, I started considering other solutions.
The Lenovo u430 seems to be the closest option, and it is available in the UK as well (if you guys can suggest any other laptop similar to these 2, please do! looking for small light thin laptop, 13 - 14 inch, dedicated graphic card)
between the lenovo and the asus, the only differences are that lenovo is bigger (14'' vs 13.3''), heavier (1.89kg vs 1.5kg), it comes with hdd instead of ssd and the graphics card is bit less powerful than asus (730m vs 840m)
what I would like from you guys is,
1st- if you know, how big is the difference between the nvidia 730m and the 840m
2nd- lenovo comes with hdd, I would like an ssd. Can I change it without loosing warranty?
3rd- in asus for example there is this "yellow issue" with the QHD screens. Is there any issue I should consider with the Lenovo?
The purpose of the laptop is to use Ubuntu as OS, for basic work (documents excel based files), browsing internet, and videos. I'm looking for the dedicated graphics card as well because I want to be able to play League of legends, CS: go and Grid 2 or auto sports with good quality, if not great quality and frame rate.
by the way, is there any new version of the u430?
Thank you guys for the input!
