13" Ultrabook. Good non-gaming performance

Glenagoolie

Hi,
Looking to get an 13" Ultrabook, any feedback/guidance is welcome.
Just going to use it for web-browsing, viewing movies/music.
Going a bit mad reading all the reviews, each model seems to be a compromise for what I want.

Must

Higher than 1366 x 768 Resolution good quality screen.
SSD 128GB or higher.
Good trackpad/keyboard experience
Less than €1K
Above 4 hours battery life.
Intel i3/i5

Preference
Matt display
HD4000 graphics (don't need higher for games)

Avoid
DVD/Blu-ray Disc player

Thanks in advance
Glen

This would be it, if it only was available here.

Ticks a lot of boxes...

Higher than 1366 x 768 (1600x900)
SSD 128GB
Less than €1K
Intel i3
HD4000 graphics

How can they sell this with an aluminum unibody case for only €474? Beats me.

Of course, you're liable for 23% VAT when buying a laptop from the US. Still, €583 doesn't sound too shabby.

Thanks for that link, it's great value. I'll contacts coming over from the States so it could be an option.
I'm just looking up the reviews of it (seems be a dodgy trackpad) and the warranty.

Any other options out there for this side of the pond?

Vizio are a TV manufacturer and utterly unproven as a computer manufacturer, a sector they only entered last year. Can only assume they're loss leading to try to build up some market share.

The VIZIO CT14 trackpad seems to be pretty bad. Awful pity, everything else
on it seemed to be decent.

Any other recommendations for 13/14" models?
