Aaand there's the unicorn I was looking for. Thanks for the input.

1) You prefer the Air's trackpad+keyboard? Or is it more lack of use on the Zenbook's side?

2)I did notice this after sitting through some videos/spec sheets -- the increased resolution seems like it would be a plus when connecting to an external monitor especially, however.

3)How is gaming working out for you? Do you do that at all much?

The resolution spec on laptops is just for the built in screen. If you plug it into an external monitor you use the resolution of the external monitor.

So the resolution of the laptop does not limit external monitors.

what I meant was that if the hardware put together expecting to push that many pixels with good performance, it's more likely it won't skip a beat pushing to something bigger?

fwiw I use a macbook pro retina and push to a 30" dell monitor (2560x1600) and a 24" monitor (1920x1200) at the same time. it probably can't run games at max res but it does great for movies, Netflix, coding, etc.

as far as form factor, I'm eyeing an air, but that's reassuring to hear.
