I just ordered this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PJHE4W?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=at055-20 128GB SSD, Core i5-3317U processor, and a 1600x900 high quality IPS display for $665. Also has Windows 8.
I just bought a Lenovo U310 from microcenter for 550 the other day. It's an ultrabook with an i5 processor, and has a little bit of SSD (24 GB) devoted to the system so the boot up times after you turn it on or after sleep are really quick. It's basically the same as the this, minus the touchscreen. http://www.microcenter.com/product/409680/IdeaPad_U310_Touch_133_Ultrabook_-_Graphite_Grey I like it a lot, nice slim profile and the weight is nice and low. Good build quality, and it definitely looks good. IMO a great buy overall so far
