I've been out of the scene when it comes to laptops and such, and my wife is looking to price out a desktop replacement. On the other hand, the desktop it's replacing is about five years old so performance isn't really an issue. What's most important to her is build quality and thinness. She likes the Macbook Air (obviously) but loathes OS X. I know that we can put Windows on an Air, since a lot of people do just that, but we're wondering if there are other options. We'd love to be able to spend less than a grand on the thing, but as far as I can tell there just aren't any other manufacturers with the same level of build quality in their thin/ultrabook lines. Dell has a lot of sturdy ones but they're the brick-like business models. Everything Lenovo makes is (to her) ugly as hell or cheap-looking. We're not going Sony because we've had very, very bad experiences with them the past, everything Acer makes seems to be extremely cheap and fragile-looking, etc. So, um. Help? Are there any thin "Ultrabook"-style brands that are actually well-made? Because none of them seem to be, and since I'm no longer in the business of repairing or supporting PCs I have no good sources of information. If the answer is "buy an Air" then that's probably what we'll do. (I'd get a T340 or a Latitude something-or-other but this isn't for me.)
