What I am after is a lightweight laptop for travelling, with W10 and the full functionality of a windows machine.
What I like about this is
the 512Gb SSD
the weight
1.1kg
Decent screen.
3 USB ports

I am not that bothered about the Bang & Olufsen with dual speakers
but wonder how much of a markup does that bring to it?

Is there a better machine out there for that sort of mula?

I don't have time to buy online as I need it to bring with me Saturday to a funeral in Calgary
Thanks as always.

I suppose it depends on what you plan on doing with this machine. Ultrabooks are unfortunately, very damn expensive.

A quick search yields this: http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/asus-zenbook-ux305-133-laptop-white/330103/396.0.0
Smaller ssd, better screen. Edit: A review has me seriously reconsidering recommending this due to:

While I enjoy an excellent overall experience with the UX305, once the laptop digs into its reserve battery tank, the Intel Core m3 chip's performance suddenly plummets. It's a problem you'll likely never run into until after 6 hours of usage, but it's a huge annoyance when I struggle to even draft a single email as the laptop slows to a crawl.

There is also this: http://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/laptops/hp-spectre-x360-laptop-13-4102na.html

And this, if you don't mind not having a full metal body: http://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/laptops/acer-aspire-s13-13.3-laptop-s5-371.html

X_R, much obliged for the research,
the one I linked to has a backlit keyboard as well so I think I will just do it, now that you have confirmed that they are proxy so I think the 512 would be better used than a better screen with 128SSD, albeit 300 euro cheaper(nett)

You could buy in Canada if you had the time? These go for about €1700 here, it's CA$1799 or just over €1200?

Just double checked the link, reason it's pre-order is it's got the new 7th gen processor, there exists a current version with 6th gen sure some of the larger Canadian retailers would be carrying it.
