Hello. I've gone through the top posts in the thread and did a bit of research, but what I fail to find is reliable information regarding performance for the laptops I have in mind. To put things into perspective, I'm looking into getting an Ultrabook for web development. I code for the .net stack, and as such the laptop in question would need to cope with running some version of iis, some version of sql server, vs 2012 and a multitude of browser windows. I'm not interested in gaming, but netflix and the like would see heavy usage. Also, as I tend to attend conferences and the like, portability and (to some extent) battery life are always pluses. I'm currently looking at the Acer Aspire s7 , the Asus UX32A(as I can't seem to find the ux31 prime anywhere), the samsung series 9, or the new samsung ativ book 9 plus. Also considering the Dell XPS13, but I have to admit to not favouring that one, as it seems to come with Ubuntu and have a lower resolution screen. My questions are (hopefully somebody can provide some information) 1. Is wanting to use an Ultrabook for development a bad idea at the moment? Is there anything performance-related that would be unable to cope with my requirements? 2. Which one of the laptops I listed above would you guys recommend, and where can I see box contents? Unboxing videos on youtube are utterly confusing - for example I've looked at Acer Aspire s7 unboxing videos, and one of them had the extra battery and even a carrying pouch, whereas the other ones had no mention of either. 3. Am I better off waiting for the new Intel generation to come out in June, and how long will it be before I can reliably purchase a high end Ultrabook powered by one? Ideally I'd want to purchase something by early August at the latest. 4. Is there a much better option that I am missing? Thanks for all the help.
