I think they start at around $1200? Didn't really look. Ultrabooks should by default have more than a 5 hour battery life.

Hmm after reading a lot more reviews the battery life isn't as bad as I thought. I think i'm gonna order one. $958 + tax after RFD coupon. 128gb more than enough for me and 4gb ram should be ok. I like how they cram a 14" screen into a 13.3" body.

I'm using the Zenbook Prime at the moment, got it from $950 from futureshop without tax. The thing is though, after you set up the ultrabook for the first time your hard drive will be left with about 60-70 GB left.
I mean that's still quite a bit but will it be enough for school, programming, installing word and a bunch of other software..
So my other alternative is the Samsung 7 Series, but its heavier by 3 lbs which isn't a big deal, but it's much bulkier as well.
Any suggestions?
Samsung 7 Series is at $1,199.99 right now

Reformat the entire hard drive while getting rid of the other partitions.
I have 64GB left after installing all my main applications such as MS Office and Photoshop, my music, 15GB of games, etc.

OK, that's it. I'm going to change my X1 Carbon order to include a 256gb ssd..
My old Lenovo W510 had over 50+gb of crap installed when I picked it up new.

That's why you reload the OS clean. I have a good 90gb free on my 128gb ssd in my current laptop.
