light weight ultra book with quad core processor

[lolo1972sg]

Hi all experts
Am looking for a light weight ultrabook because I travel a lot and really need a portable workhorse.
Essential requirements are:
1) should be less than 1.5kg (including the battery and power adaptor)
2) budget is less than $1.3K
3) should be a quad core processor
4) should not need to buy additional adapter (such as LAN adapter, VGA output adapter and etc)
5) minimum 4GB ram
6) minimum 500GB HDD

Good to have requirements:
1) standalone Nvidia card
2) i7 haswell quadcore
3) 8GB ram
4) hybrid HD (eg: 500GB -7200rpm + 128 SSD)

Would appreciate any inputs that could meet the above requirements as close as possible

Thanks in advanced

Not brands @ that budget with whole package weight 1.5KG >
3) should be a quad core processor
Ultra's generally dont have Quad Core CPU

Nearest match should be MSI GE40 @ $1899
i7-4700MQ (Quad)/12GB/750GB/GTX760/14.0" FHD/DVDRW/1.9kg

But weight and price above TS requirement.

Otherwise, no such model.

Incoming ones with nearest match will be

Asus zenbook UX302 with GT730 graphics, 1.45kg but is i7-4500U dual core and estimated to price above 2k. ETA is end of Oct to early Nov.

There is also a Dell vostro 5470, but with dual core processor, 1.65kg with GT740 graphics. Dell have not confirm whether to come out with a i7 version. But their motherboard can support i7 quad core. So TS can buy this and change the processor to quad core one. Total price will also definitely be above the 1.3k budget.

My 2 cents..
