You're describing a $1,000 plus machine.
For $500 you can get the power you want, with an ordinary screen and an ordinary keyboard, ordinary size (no ultrabook slimness) and ordinary weight, but...

Wow. Thank you for all the remarks.
Looks like I am overshooting my goals.
How about best bang for my buck at $500 that takes some of my preferences. I really want a solid CPU so it doesn't...

Thats too low. Ultrabooks are ultra to gouge the price from consumers. That's why there is no market for them. At that price range, might as well get a mac.
For $500, you get a decent regular...

Apparently it runs very nicely as long as you have enough RAM and was on sale for $30 twice in the past month.
Pretty sure the issue is drivers for battery management. I haven't looked at the...

Well that's just the way it goes with Macs - they actually have some value left and aren't dirt in 3 years! But buying a last year's model new when a new one is out often brings the best bargains. ...

I agree with Rocky, even with deals your budget for your requirements are unrealistic. Figure out if you have more in the budget or what you are willing to cut back on a bit.
BTW the MBP is not...

From what I've seen of those laptops, both the screen and keyboard are a fair bit substandard.
Then again, it's no big surprise at $800, as the good Ultrabooks like what the OP first described, will...

That's my favorite laptop.
Of course, I'd put Windows on right away, not that there's anything really wrong with the Mac OS, but I'm a Windows guy.
That being said, the Mac Air is exactly what the...

You should be able to get a used 13.3" Macbook Air 2010 for around $800-ish. Just be sure to find one with 4GB of RAM (custom configuration or Ultimate version with the bigger SSD).
I still have...

What's the parallel deal?
PS: I just looked it up.
I figure that Windows wouldn't be as fast or as powerful, running in virtualization.
I'd probably play around with the Mac OS for awhile, just...

That looks pretty interesting.
Despite many users complaining about the keyboard and trackpad, they all seem to love it just the same.
The price I got from your link is $717 and not $600, but that...

$500 is unfortunately a bit too low to have all of those in one package. Even in the $800 range, for those who are demanding - they will not find all three in one package.
The hard truth is that...

X220 is a very nice machine but it doesn't have 14" screen.
Macbook pros are not ultrabooks. If an ultrabook with 14" screen is around $500 then the screen won't be beautiful (what does "beautiful...
