Looking for an ultrabook under this criteria?

[thatfancypenn]

I sadly made the mistake of buying, *cough* Alienware *cough*.. and I really want to sell it and buy an ultrabook now that I don't use it for gaming. But, the ultrabook needs to fit under this criteria:

 

- Under $700 - No more than that.

- Must be 13.3" and up

- Must have atleast 500GB of storage.

- Must have at least 4GB of RAM

- Intel Core i5 minimum. No i3.

- It would also be great if it could transform into a tablet.

 

Thanks!

Thanks, but it doesn't fold all the way back. The 128gb ssd isn't as bad seeing as I can upgrade or get an external hdd.

not possible, for $1000 or less maybe, but not for $700, the ram, hdd, and screen size is not the problem, its the CPU, and the fact that it transforms...

yeah I guess you're right. Anything you'd recommend that doesn't transform? I still would greatly prefer an i5 though..

Dell Inspiron 7000 series can be had for about that price. Not an ultrabook, but very light, and sexy.
