Need a sleek, powerful ultrabook. Preferably with a 256GB SSD. Are any with Ivy Bridge out there yet ?

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
~ 50k


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen



3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
I trust you guys


4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
media consumption, web browsing,


5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
flexible but 1080p preferable. Are there any downsides to a matte screen ?

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
Please provide details about where to buy it from Mumbai. Also suggest an external CD Drive.

@OP - 50k wont get you a 1080p screen in either a laptop or ultrabook.

Your options are
1. HP Envy 4 - 14" (51k)
2. Sony Vaio T13(46k) & T11 (48k) - 13" & 11"
3. Samsung NP530(51k) - 14"

Only the Sony Vaio are proper ultrabooks. (with Hybrid SSDs)

Envy 4 & NP530 are super-sleek laptops.

All these models have 1366x768 resolution.

in a budget of 50k you are looking for a ultrabook with a 256GB SSD, well that sounds weird as 256GB HDD alone costs 20k.
Anyways the best option in your budget is Sony VAIO S Series SVS13112EN

LOL 256GB SSD and Full HD ? :D

Buddy there does exist such a laptop but it is not 50k. Vaio SVZ13115. 13.1 inch Full HD, IVB i7 Quad, 256GB Quad SSD Raid 0. Price 1.8 lacs ;)

Anyway for you I would suggest take a look at Lenovo U310 as well.
