I have an AWesome Acer slim laptop at the moment I5 SSD Hybrid 10 hours battery, but work has offered to buy me another laptop for hitting target so though the zen is perfect.

will hand my laptop down to wife.

Still think the zenbook is best windows based one to get comparable to mac air

there is the Zen books floating around for $1200 they are the previous build and only 128gig ssd the new ones have the 228gig ssd and are the next generation so get the newer one
