Absolute requirements:
* Must be fully Windows 8 compatible with a full set of drivers available
* Must have a smart card reader.
* Must be ultra lightweight. 11.6" preferred. 13.3" maximum
Requirement I really should squeeze in:
* touch screen
* Some kind of docking station that will work worth a damn
* 1080p display
Things I fully expect to see:
* at least a 256GB SATA3 SSD
* at least 8GB RAM
* at leat a dual core ivybridge based I7 processor
I currently have a ~$5000 sony viao (VPCZ22 series) that is ridiculously compact with a high resolution screen but I can't freaking use it because Sony doesn't know how to make Windows 8 drivers and it has no smart card reader. I contacted someone at lenovo and they said their x230t line of laptops meet my need closest, but it won't support Windows 8 and has a low resolution screen.
Anyone know of a better source? Dell has one in the works soon but it may not be out until next year.
