yes please that would be really helpful russell.
andrew i looked at what system76 have: smallest is the 14in @ $699 which means its spec is nowhere near that of the dell xps 13 9350, the yoga pro or the zenbook(s). the machines you refer to that can do 4k are monster 15 and 17in, they'll be something insane like 3 possibly even 4kg in weight: more than twice over the weight budget.
the thing about ultrabooks is that they're quite specialist and unusual: they're not the sort of thing that you keep around "in stock" as their components are ridiculously specialist and expensive.
again: if it wasn't for the fact that i'm moving around so much, going to clients, staying in hotels and so on, i'd be happy to get something that was "luggable".
but, my requirements really are quite specific: high end QHD+ 13.3in ultrabooks fit them perfectly.

Luke,
if you do decide to go the DELL route, last time I checked, I had several friends at DELL all of whom could offer some employee discounts (obviously, not as good as the Mexico deal recently publicised). Let me know if I should send a query out to them to see if I can get an employee discount code for you.
Regards
Russell

Hi all,
FYI they did not answer to my request since i live in France i guess, cool machines anyway !
unfortunately the LCD resolutions max out at 1920x1080. after having experienced a 2560x1600 LCD, where i can get *TEN* full 80x56 xterms side-by-side on one screen, or *two* web browsers full-screen 1200x800 next to *four* 80x56 xterms, or can do two 80x56 xterms and then openscad a whopping 1800x1600... or PCB CAD development 1200x1600 side-by-side with a PDF datasheet at again 1200x1600 instead of being forced to flip between the two.... *and it's portable*...
... once you've experienced that kind of development environment, a 1920x1080 LCD is a *MASSIVE* step backwards.
... can't do it, frank :)
System76 are about the only folk I can think of - they might be able to help because their bigger machines go up to 4k.
Otherwise, it's down to plugging in a monitor and keyboard when you get somewhere ...
All the best
