Under $1,200 for base model.

they look p good

and the 1080p screen isn't bad for an ultrabook, either. I'd recommend that for schoolwork. I haven't looked into Haswell at all, but I don't think it'll be that big of a difference if she's just Facebooking and writing papers.

yea, ips and 1080p I was like holy fuck

saw that newegg one a few posts up

haswell is supposed to have 50% more battery on mobile.

yea I saw it

some of the igpu goes up as much as 100% or more.. and it's like ~10% power increase

so barely any graphics usage is going to be a huge increase of battery life

super ultrabook

i got a acer S3 for work, I5 they are pretty cheap too.
