Ultrabook/Portable under $800

[vanwazltoff]

Looking for a well built, thin and light laptop for work/very light LAN gaming (Killing Floor, L4D2, other LAN games). I had an Acer Aspire M5-581 and that thing was awesome, best laptop I have ever owned, but my friend convinced me to sell it to him. I got a temporary laptop to hold me over for 2 weeks then I'll take it back (Acer Aspire S3.)

 

Qualifications:

Core i5 or i7

6-8gb RAM

upgrade-able HDD (2.5", MSATA)

thin and light, easy to fit into a packed backpack (less than 0.8" thick)

14" max screen size

2 USB 3.0 ports

ethernet optional

back-lit keyboard highly preferred

full sized HDMI preferred

HD4400 or better graphics

6 hours+ battery life

 

 

The options I keep coming back to are the Lenovo Yoga 2 13", the Macbook Air 11" (currently for sale with an education discount for $750 at best buy), Macbook Air 13" (open box at best buy for $770), Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (refurb at newegg)

The Lenovo Y40 is pretty much the laptop to get at that price point currently
