I am looking for an ultrabook with at least 14" to use for Autodesk Cad and Revit (3D-modelling)

Requirements:
1. i7 3rd gen
2. 8gb memory
3. less than 2.2 kg
4. 14" and above
5. Dedicated graphics card

Are there any recommendations since there are many ultrabooks in the market.

I have researched for a few choices:

1. ASUS Zenbook U500
Asus Zenbook UX51VZ review / Asus U500 - top notch 15 inch ultraportable

2. Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3
AnandTech | Acer Aspire TimelineU M3: Life on the Kepler Verge

3. ASUS Zenbook UX52VS
ZENBOOK UX52VS

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 only has a dual core processor & it's the second generation. ASUS Zenbook UX52VS i7 model is a dual core processor as well, the U series is for power savings but lower performance. Other model like Samsung Series 7 CHRONOS slightly heavier from your requirements (2.35kg). So I believe ASUS Zenbook U500 is the best choice since it has third generation of i7 quad core processor, 8GB RAM, 2.2kg, 15.6" screen and NVIDIA graphics card with DDR5.

Thanks for informing me that M3 and UX52VS is 2nd gen.

I saw Samsung Series 7 Chronos in real and is heavy for me. They came out with an Chronos Ultra which I thought will be a good choice but it only has intel graphics...
