Sorry bro but you won't get a ultrabook with i5 in that budget.
Increase your budget mate.
I think you need to shell out around 60k to get something good like Macbook pro

@OP: so you were impressed by Mac book but dislike, Apple. Kinda sounds ironic to me.

for this you need either a Probook or an Elitebook by HP
However, you wont find these on stores, you might need to buy them online.

Haha. Yes, it seemed ironic as I typed but fact is that he paid 1700 swiss franks (98,998 INR) for it. I dislike apple because they're overpriced. Though the macbook pro in itself was amazingly light. Plus I'm not a fan of the Mac OS since the gaming titles are just way too limited.

Anyway, thanks guys! I'd already figured that a small and light laptop with such features would not be found. Just thought you guys would know better. I think I'll just compromise on the size/weight aspect and buy myself a heavy laptop that gets the job done.

Also, how is the Asus K53SM-SX010D / 2nd Gen Ci5/4 GB/750 GB/2GB graphics DOS ?

if the weight of laptops doesn't matter then go for DELL INSPIRON 15R, but don't know whether AMD graphic will suffice your graphic designing requirements or else go for the above one ASUS which you suggested.
