Or just buy the lowest level hard drive and upgrade to an SSD later. Deals for around $120 are popping up for 128GB and 256GB was like $170 a week or two ago. They will continue to fall later.

Thanks for all of your help 1992. I am still doing some research and still haven't decided on what to buy. Might wait a few weeks and see what deals pop up.

At $100 I would pick up the Asus Zenbook, unless you are biased towards Samsung. I just love the look and feel of the Zenbook.

In your opinion, should I just spend the extra money to get a 128GB SSD? It seems all of the manufacturers have their 13.3" 128GB SSD options priced at $999.00.

In that range you can also get an Asus Zenbook. There are a couple on the Microsoftstore site, so its worth a look and its probably the biggest competitor to the Series 9 right now.

Thanks for the tips, will...

Thanks for all the links! Will look through them.
Upped my budget to $700. Plus I see a lot of deals for "Buy ultrabook for $800, get a free Xbox" where I could sell Xbox for $150.
