I'd suggest to go with the surface pro 3, but make sure to get the i5 processor. it's more portable, faster, has a longer battery life, has a more spectacular screen (with better blacks) and it comes with a free pen! Just make sure to also purchase the type cover.

I agree with bwang89, for the portability, battery life and processing power, not to mention the durability, a macbook air would be a good choice. However, take note that you will have port limitations on a macbook air, and you would need to purchase additional accessories for its display port from apple just to use it for hdmi or vga or DVI. The chromebook would be limiting as everything is cloud-based. And they say, google collects data with your chromebook, although i'm not quite sure about those rumors

I have the y410p as well, i would recommend going with the y410p as stated by cheezecowboy, it has the better cpu as the y40-70 is only equiped with a ULV processor. So your processor would turn out to be a botttleneck. In terms of graphics performance, the r275M doesn't have a significant advantage over the 750m. I'm just wondering, why not get the y50-70 instead? it has a full fledged processor, a more powerful gpu (860M); its thin; and since its bigger; it should have better cooling options. Also, just to mention, if you need to reinstall, you can just download an unmodified windows 8.1 and put it in your win8key (which is bios embedded btw); and you have a clean install windows 8.1. If you need a working novo button, you can just download the okr 8 engineering edition iso and use it to initialize your harddrive before clean installing the windows 8.1.

Hi MAGC from the Philippines, avid gamer and computer enthusiast. Looking forward to building an ITX gaming rig

Personally, like the rest of you guys, for FPS, KB+mouse is still the best, however for RPG games, like DA:I or DMC or Saint's row; or fighting games (DOA5, Injustice, and the upcoming MK10); controllers are still your best bet. The KB +mouse will do fine, but having a controller will provide a totally different playing experience XD.
