    Hi guys I'm on the fence on what Asus I should get. My requirements are 13-14in, 64bit, dedicated graphics, under $1000.

    I would be used for mostly Web/Office/Visual Studio, and the occasional Counter Strike or Warcraft.

    Any input?

    The UL series has switchable graphics which means better battery life overall. If you're looking at something with JUST dedicated graphics, take a look at the N81 lineup. Also, if you can wait, ASUS should be coming out with the N82, but I'm unsure if it'll be under $1000.
