Which Ultrabook?

So, it's about time I sold this hefty desktop replacement I have at the moment and obtained something.....lighter.....
xD

I've decided to look at some form of ultrabook. Needs to be reasonably powerful (ideally able to handle at the least TF2/CS on low settings).
No bigger than 11-13" either.
I have a budget of around £700-odd.
Been taking a look at a few Zenbook's, but really have no idea what I should be looking at to get the most bang for my buck.
Looks are just as important as function

Suggestions?

Bump?

Wait for Haswell. The increase in power management and iGPU are designed for ultra books, so it's worth waiting.

Appreciated.
Having checked Haswell shizz up, looks like I'll wait for another couple months.

Bump.

So, following the release of Haswell processors, anyone spotted any decent ultrabooks? ;P

I have also been eyeing up Clevo's W110ER (and the multiple re-brands that use the same chassis; Xplorer X1M etc.). For around £800 I can configure this '11.6" Inferno' to be pretty beasty. For the same price, I can't seem to get anything even close power-wise in terms of an ultrabook (or am I just blind?)
