Asus Zenbook

I like it very much. The Samsung series 9 should be better (and pricier) but I have no experience with it.
I saw some on display in JB hi fi so you might think about just dropping in and looking at them for yourself, even if you don't intend to buy

You can also drop the price a bit

By insisting on Windows 7. Windows 8 usually comes with a touch screen, which makes the laptop more expensive - and most of the people I talked with also agrees windows 8 s*&$s a@s

lol. thx~ yep a lot of ppl seem to like ASUS

or the samsung. the issue i have is that the icore5 samsungs seem to come with 128 ssd which is just not enough, for me, at the moment
i went to harvey norman, they had nice ones on display as well

Thinkpad x1 carbon

I have the x1 carbon from work.
14', 256g, i5, 8GB.
it's lighter thank mac book air and it is a professional machine and altogether nice one to use.
I would still prefer my personal thinkpad x220 or the thinkpad t430s over any ultabook including the x1.
