- I did? When?
- Just now.
- Babe... I guess I did.

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Laptop recommendations

I have a great job right now - putting together a recommendation for a new laptop for me. It needs to be able to do 4 hours of REAL work, not this "light use fluff", have high res, enough space for multiple versions of VS, and a VM or two, and be portable.

I have my eyes on the 512Gb SSD version of this:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/yoga/yoga-2-pro/[^]

Any other recommendations? As I'm the main GUI writer in the small company I work for, I want to have touch and hi-dpi on one of my machines, just to make sure our software will play nicely with them - and I miss my laptop from 5 years ago that had 1900 x 10something...

The price of the Yoga above is making my boss wince a little, but not refuse, so no $3000 swiss made gold plated ones please...

It doesn't look like it has touch, which is a point against - not a deal breaker though. I'll see if it's available here for my list.

It does have touch....

Does the second word in the opening title not give it away, or the whole section on the touch capabilitites....

The touch Ultrabook™ with stunning...

Incredible

Touch

Technology with a human touch

Zenbook UX301 is wonderfully tactile, but that goes well beyond just the feel of its sleek, smooth and durable glass design. Windows 8 is designed with touch in mind and a dedicated ASUS Human Computer Interface team help make it even more intuitive to use with features like a responsive multi-touch display, and a large touch pad with multi-touch support. The backlit keyboard with automatic brightness control also means you'll always have a clear view of the keys, so you can stay productive, even in complete darkness. So whichever way you like to work, Zenbook UX301 has you covered.

That'll teach me to not just immediately press the "specs" button, and scroll down instead.

Defo on the investigate list then.

Here's one supplier of the 2x256Gb version:

Almost 2 grand though... might be pushing my luck there!

(In your position of having to be helicopter transportable, and powerful enough to give you stuff to on a rig for a few weeks, I'd think more positively)
