I'm surprized nobody has provided a link to Dell's XPS 13 "Developer edition" laptop.

I bought one after using an Asus UX31E for two years and the Dell laptop is better in almost every aspect. To wit:

* 1080p IPS screen

* 5+ hours of battery

* An amazing keyboard (imho better than Macbook keyboards, which are by many considered among the best laptop keyboards)

* Weight is only 1.36 kg

* Comes with Linux (Ubuntu) pre-installed

The only thing I preferred with my Zenbook was its trackpad, which was smooth and metallic, since my sweaty fingers have a tendency to stick on the XPS trackpad. On the other hand, I _hated_ the Zenbook keyboard, and would choose a good keyboard over a good trackpad any day.
