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!

The new Samsung 9 series is Ivy Bridge with the new higher res 1600x900 screen and much improved battery life of 7hours. It's a 13.3" but the thin bezel makes it smaller. Weighs even less than the equivalent zenbook prime or macbook air. I'm seriously considering this option as well but it's pretty pricey.
