Well, here is the list, it doesn't have to be all on the laptop, but the more the better within the budget around 600:

Light (as I need to carry around)
Long battery
good resolution
relatively small (13/14inch)
Win8 (that's important related to work since most likely I will not get a Mac due to cost)
fast (core i5? )
memory : 4 or 6GB DDR3 1333-speed
HDD: I am not sure but about 500GB?
HDMI (for the conference room)
Must be below 3.5lb



Thanks

I mostly see deals every day for I watch a website slickdeals. What you want is hard to find for often those people do not mind refurb or bigger sizes in your price point. That said this appears nice

VA panel not IPS and lower resolution
i5 4th gen as well
There is a M.2 slot for ssds. M.2 is a newer version of ssd slot for laptops thus there are less options if you want to upgrade the ssd but over time this will change. Note the max height is 42mm which will limit options since the m.2 format can go as high as 80mm.
