High resolution laptop/ultrabooks

[Hotobu]

Hello,

I haven't been in the market for a laptop in a while, but am considering a new one. Right now I've got a 13.3" screen running at 1366x768 resolution and am a bit tired of it. The screen size is just about right (I don't want anything bigger than 14"), but I'd like a high quality/resolution display in something that isn't a Mac. My other goal is a 6 hour battery minimum. Can anyone suggest a few models out there worth looking at? I've tried searching the net for models with these specs, but with the new Ivy Bridge ultrabooks starting to roll out I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

BTW I'm not sure about price as of yet. I just want to see what's out there right now.

Sony Vaio Z, Asus UX31 off the top of my head. Not many others offer higher res screen, HP Folio 13 or Spectre 14 might

Spectre does, Folio doesn't. The other's do as well of course. Thanks for the reply I really thought there'd be more models that weren't THAT expensive.

Both of them have sad battery lives. I know because my friends have both of them.

I also don't like them because they're bulky, but yeah 6 hour battery life minimum is mandatory. As far as I can tell the UX31 is the best thing going for the price, but apparently the viewing angle is kinda meh, and the screen is glossy. I'm also not a fan of "dongle connectivity." I guess I can live with it, but in the case that I need one of the standard laptop ports I'd hate to just not have that connection with me at the time. I'm gonna keep my eye on the zenbook line though.
