I ruled out the Dell/Samsung because the models available in Canada is still using the old Intel 3000 video/ dual core CPU, not to mention their ram+HD combinations simply 'suck.'

I know this applies to the Zenbook too. I'm only intrigued by it and the MBA because of the form/coolness factor. I might have to cross the Zenbook Prime off as well because the memory is restricted to only 4gb.

Yeah I realized the new Zenbook has a 1080p IPS screen, but I think I'll be blind reading text at such a high-res.

I saw the RFD posting on the Lenovo books as well. I think the deal expires tonight. I kind of want to get the X230t with Windows 8 when it comes out.. Argh, decisions!

(Posting from my 'welfare' Acer laptop with a CPU windows experience score of 3.6 and a hdd score of 7.9.. LOL)
