Best UltraBook for a Writer?? Dell XPS 13, Lenovo Yoga Pro, etc...

[sdiddy]

I need a newlaptop, thinking around 13 inches is good and would like something small and light and low profile. I dont want a Mac. I am considering the Dell XPS 13 and a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 or Yoga Pro 3.

However, I have a couple important criteria. The most important is a really nice easy to type keyboard. I am a writer and plan on using it for a lot of writing.

Other things I would like are very fast processor because I also use photoshop and illustrator a fair amount and do photo editing as well.

Using it as a tablet isnt necessary for me I already have a Nexus 7. I would like good battery life as well.

Also, I am a bit confused about the Yoga 2 pro and Yoga 3 pro. Online I am getting very different battery life times for these two laptops, and my info shows that the yoga 3 pro will actually have much LESS battery life than the yoga 2 pro. thats ridiculous if its true....

thanks!

The Dell, for sure. All the reviews say it has a phenomenal keyboard, but the touchpad is a litte jumpy and at a high load, there is a coil whine from the Cpu.

Get an Asus Q550LF laptop. No coil whine, no jumpy touchpad, Windows 8.1, REALLY nice keyboard, and it's TOUCHSCREEN!!!

Dude, that's not an ultrabook. By the way, the Dell is also touchscreen and you can get the fully upgraded version off amazon for $1289:
