Ultraportable recommendation?

[kirBi]

Hey, I'm currently looking for a laptop which has both portability and decent spec.

My budget is around $1300. Would like to have a laptop with sub 3.5 lbs and sub 14 inch screen.

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance!

Right at your price point, a little heavier, but only a pound, 14 inch screen, great dedicated card, i7, ssd, good hdd storage

Thinkpad X230, or if you don't mind the wait, X240 (it should trickle out in a month). X240 should be updated for Haswell.

 

The X230 can be configured with up to 20 hours of battery life for little under $1100, leaving another 100-200 for an SSD upgrade (which you can do yourself). The total with SSD and 9-cell battery alone (12-13 hours of battery life) will be about $1100-1200.

 

Would suck balls for gaming, but if you're not interested in gaming, it's a good option.

This laptop is pretty sweet. A tad heavier but the extra weight is worth the performance :D

Yeah, I haven't had any first hand usage with it, but my older brother just bought one since he cant have a desktop in afghani-land, and he's told me it's super fast and can run most games maxed on ultra, if not a few settings on high
