Ultrabook for co-worker...

[AthlonXP]

Co-worker is looking for a new laptop has a 1500 budget and was looking for a new laptop. I went ahead and suggest an ultrabook since she is in gradschool and is always on the go. Besides the macbook air, could anyone else recommend a non mac for what she needs??
She is also going to use it to do some light photo editing as well, and sorry guys I do not have a pic on me to load up..

Before I make my suggestion, what's she going to grad school for?

Business Management.

Ultrabook is the perfect choice then.

I just ordered an Asus UX31E-DH72. Waiting for it to arrive today.

Might have a look at the Thinkpad x220 as well if you end up returning the other for any reason -- I think it's one of the most solid ones out there.

Being a complete HP whore may I suggest you look at the Elitebook 2500. Sadly, I think they've gone to 16:9 displays on the newer models.

I've had a few days to play with the new Asus UX31E-DH72.

Damn, this thing is fast, light, compact, and looks good too.

The only sketchy thing is the power adapter connection to the laptop. It is not as robust feeling as the Mac MagSafe power adapter.
