I'm looking for a laptop for about a grand or less (CAD). Since I live in Canada, things are more expensive here than in the US, so I'd appreciate Canadian prices. (NCIX and Newegg are preferred stores) It doesn't need to be super powerful(I won't be anything demanding on a laptop anyway.) However, I want something thin and portable with good battery life for traveling. A decent track pad is a plus, also I can't stand low res screens so 1080p is a requirement. Thanks for your help! :D

Main PC: 4690k, LMG Edition G1 Gaming GTX 980, 16GB Hyper X Fury, Asus Z97-A, EVGA G2 850W, Crucial MX100 128GB, WD Red 1TB 2.5", Dark Rock 3

Laptop: Asus UX305 Monitor: Asus PB278Q Keyboard: Filco Majestouch 2 TKL Mouse: Corsair M65

For under a grand I'd go with the Microsoft Surface 3. If you'd be willig to spend more I'd say get the Dell XPS 13! ( Which is Linuses primary laptop I think... :D )

That's a great Ultrabook especially for the price.
