And given the cost of battery use, are you so sure about leaning on battery time?

Hello, I had my eyes on the Sony Vaio Pro 13 (1.1 kg, almost 15 hours of battery life with the external battery), but now Sony has shut the Vaio division. As a replacement, I am looking at the ASUS UX303LN (i7-5500, NVidia 840M graphic card, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 1299 Euros) versus the UX303LA(i5-5200, Intel HD 4400 Graphics, 8GB Ram, 128 GB SSD, 799 Euros). I realize that the processors are not that different, the 4 GB RAM can probably be sacrificed, and I already have another 512 GB SSD, so the main issue for me seems to be the Intel 4400 vs. the NVidia 840M. I am not a gamer, and I just need adequate graphics performance to watch movies: would the Intel be more than enough, since the cost difference is 500 Euros ?
The Dell XPS13 seems to be the other alternative... could you suggest others ?
Thanks, Suresh
