Hello all, just looking for some advice on purchasing a good, well-built, ultrabook. I was trying to stay around the $500 price or under (prob can't go much under that for a decent one anyways). I had a few in mind that I will post a link to. I don't do any gaming and probably don't plan to. Just want something that will run smoothly, doesn't get hot, and has a long battery life. Thanks for the suggestions! I'd definitely prefer an SSD hard drive as well.

The first is refurbished and looks like it is out of stock-it definitely would be the better option if it were available. The second is not what I would consider and ultra book. It has a very slow CPU and slow storage. An eMMC drive is technically solid state, but it doesn't offer the performance of an SSD.
I would keep looking for refurbs or check ebay for used ones if you want to stay below $500.
