Do my eyes deceive me? A broadwell Core M processor small notebook on the Asus Zenbook already? The Asus Zenbook my mother owns is excellent and seeing these specs here sound pretty nice.

Damn. And I just bought a new Haswell laptop a couple of months ago because the earlier Haswell model suddenly died on me.

This laptop is absolutely fantastic. Hopefully the screen will cover a large % of sRGB/AdobeRGB, though.
