It doesn't /have/ to be a Mac, but the only ultrabooks I've seen which compare to Apple hardware are the Lenovo X1 Carbon and the Chromebook Pixel, both are comparatively priced anyway. Mainly Ruby/Go (web/server) development. If I'm doing anything super intensive it will probably be remote anyway

The Lenovo Helix looks quite awesome. Which screen size do you prefer? I can do a quick look for you.

  I've had a look at it, thanks for the suggestion - right now I think I'd rather stick with Apple hardware though (just personal taste in design), besides, I live in Australia and it's nowhere near being available here yet ;)

    A friend of mine sells Notebooks of all kind in large electronic discounter. He said that the most reliable Notebooks were Asus followed by Apple, when it comes to repairs, problems etc. But I certainly do understand why you want a Mac. Quality.

Notebookcheck is very cool, because it pre-filters Notebooks based on many criteria. I'm sorry it's german, couldn't find a good US site. You can use google-translate :)

    You can also click the little American flag in the top right. Notebookcheck is one of the first places I go when I'm looking for a new laptop.
