hi tf.tv, I'm interested in purchasing an ultrabook / laptop that's thin, light, does not overheat + stays cool for the most part, good battery life, and has a solid processor (non-laggy laptop). I'm looking for any recommendations and I'd like to use this laptop for mainly just surfing the web, entertainment (youtube / twitch / netflix etc.), and schoolwork.
I've had really bad experiences with HP laptops so I probably won't consider any laptops from that brand (went through 3 different model laptops and they all broke + terrible overheating issues).
My budget is PREFERABLY around the $700 area.. any recommendations are appreciated and thank you in advanced.

My brother has one of these I think, he seems to really like it. He too, has defected from the overheating branch of HP.

I was looking at that and it looks really good. ASUS is my absolute favorite laptop brand and that's probably one of my top choices. I actually chose out an ultra book for my sister and it was an asus zenbook too, I just don't remember what model it was but it looked very aesthetically appealing and I tried using it for a bit and it had no overheating issues whatsoever. and yeah HP is literally the worst laptop brand imo.. saying this from experience with 3 different laptops from HP.
thanks obi :)

Is there more you want to do besides
mainly just surfing the web, entertainment (youtube / twitch / netflix etc.), and schoolwork.
I have a chromebook I use for only that and it works fine (as long as I write assignments on Google Docs)
But if your schoolwork involves any special programs not on the web it would be a problem.

nah, I just want to use the laptop for pure entertainment and school work use only, no gaming etc.
my schoolwork does not require any special programs but why would that be a problem? sorry not familiar with chromebooks.

Chromebook runs the chrome OS which basically just runs google chrome.
I think it'd certainly be worth looking into in your case as it's like $500 less than the laptop you were looking at.
