I would suggest an ultrabook, because light and quick is what you want.

So I would say the Samsung series 5 ultrabook, they go for R8000 - R10000 each, and I think you can buy it with an SSD, or is that only in the series 9, can't remember now. Also, it looks flippin' toit.

With an SSD these things will fly.

What are your size/performance requirements. Also, if you're going with working machines for working people, it may be better to go with something for which you can upgrade to 3 year next business day onsite support and, if you look around on the forum (it's here somewhere) HP is considered to be kinda sucktastic at that. Whereas Lenovo and Dell come up looking much better. But first: size/power/connectivity requirements/preferences as a starting point.

Asus Zenbook Prime. Thin, light and powerful with the best screen available in a laptop today. Plus they look awesome.

Very valid point, I haven't worked with Lenovo yet, but I can vouch for Dell's warranty support. In my experience they literally have a flawless track record, always there the next day and fixed broken laptops or with the replacement part.
