I'm in a similar boat as you. I have an older thinkpad X60 (5 years), the quality is awesome so I'm seriously considering the X230! To me the X230 looks timeless, the Zenbook looks nice, but I'm afraid I would end up with a scratched up cover. :P The major disadvantage of the X230 vs the Prime is the screen resolution. 1366x768 vs 1920 x 1080. In case you didn't know, the Zenbook also has an IPS Screen, also an SSD is an expensive option (I'd probably install my own). That being said, there's a nice sale going on at Lenovo right now & a nicely optioned X230 can be purchased for $750 + tax! or $950 for an i7! I may wait until the end of summer to see what other new Ultrabooks are introduced before purchasing though.
Why an 11" and not a 13" Ultrabook?
