Wink Recommend ultrabook

Hi

I am planning to buy an ultrabook.

I am a health professional
But I will mostly be using the ultrabook for personal use.

My price range is $800.
I want longer battery life. No games. Probably using it to surf the net and watch movies. Light weight. Good storage space(memory).

Cam someone's please recommend a good one. I was thinking of Samsung 5 series.

Is it good.

Cheers

Chinvals

How much do you want to spend to get a Ultrabook?

I'd gladly spend over or well over a grand if I could get similar specs in Ultrabook form.

installed Win 8 on my Asus UX31A (i5 Ivy with 1080p screen)...great laptop but I need to reinstall Win 7....Win 8 doesn't do much good without a touchscreen IMO...

Sorry, it just came out a month ago. However in my opinion, its the best Windows 8 laptop out there.
