This actually looks really good

Looks really good value for a unibody ultra thin touchscreen laptop. I imagine the i3 qould be pretty poor for any form of gaming with 1.8ghz and no turbo and low hd4000 clocks though, even at 1366x768. If they had an i5 option for the 11" model it would make a reasonable little ultraportable casual gaming machine.

Pity about the mechanical drive. Afaik you can overclock hd4000 on non k processors using Intel's own software?

My ultrabook's 2ghz processor isn't the limitation for gaming, it's the hd3000.

It's listed on the Asus site as the S200E: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/S200E/

It looks as though it's in stock at a few places already, at ~£450 for the Core i3 version. The Lenovo x131e looks like quite poor value for money in comparion, though I do wonder about battery life on the S200E. I guess time will tell!
