Today only Newegg.com has the Asus Zenbook UX31E Win 7 Pro Ultrabook on sale for $599.99, Free Shipping. (at least $100 lower than elsewhere -- sells over $1,000 some places!) Includes 1-year of Intel Anti-Theft Service for free.

This ships with Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.

Design - Optimal Use

A sleek 0.7" thin, 2.9lb light notebook that is designed for people on the go. This Zenbook is good for office applications, web, social media, and most other general applications. No optical drive with this model, although the SSD will make it considerably faster than most.

Look for larger screen if you plan to keep a notebook more in one location. Gamers should look for a gaming notebook with a faster processor and discrete graphics chip.
