Ultrabook recommendations?

[haato89]

Hi I'm looking for a Windows ultrabook with the following criteria:

1.3-1.4kg (the lighter the better)
SSD
no need touch screen
thin (something that looks like a MBA )

Budget: <$2k

I will be using it mainly for work (MS Office) and surfing

Love the Acer Aspire S7 but I don't need a touch screen and I don't want to pay a premium for the touch screen that I don't need

I've poked around a few laptop shops but I may have overlooked some good candidates

Thanks in advance!

You can consider Asus UX32VD with harddisk then upgrade the harddisk to SSD.

Essentially Asus UX32LN is the successor to UX32VD. Get the i5 version, then swap out the 500GB HDD to a Crucial MX100 256GB or 512GB SSD.
