Ultrabook decision

[302stephen]

I'm going to be going off to college next month and I have decided on getting a new ultrabook. The problem is I can't decide on the best one. I will mainly be using it for basic stuff like web browsing and note taking, maybe a little light gaming, but I have a desktop for anything major.

I have mostly narrowed it down the these three.

Samsung series 9

Asus Zenbook

Macbook Air

I have used PC's until now but I am open to trying OSX, I will have windows installed on the Air in some form or another just in case.
If you think there is something better out there I am open to suggestions, but I need to get it in the next week or so.
My budget is about 1500, but that is flexible. I am not set on those configurations in the links, I just used the base models.
What do you guys suggest? I have been thinking about this for a while and I just cant make up my mind.
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for all for your advice, it has really helped me decide, I just picked up a Zenbook. I decided the series 9 wasn't worth the extra $200, and that now wasn't the right time to try out OSX. Thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it.

nice! i just bought a zenbook myself. i just ordered the 8gb memory module and 512gb ssd. i'm stoked!
