I purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga S1 for $760 refurbised w/ a 3-year manufacturer warranty on eBay and it's the best laptop I've ever owned.
portability:
0.76 x 12.46 x 8.7 in
* 3.46 lbs
* 6-7 hours battery
performance:
i7-4600U
* 8GB
* 256 GB SSD
* 12.5" 1080p touchscreen (very bright too)
* awesome keyboard
* good trackpad (if you click over the raised nubs in the top center you get a middle click which is handy too)
* convertible with very sturdy hinges
* overall superb build quality (has passed a number of MIL-spec tests)
* all hardware has linux support

affordability: seems like they are going for $700-800 for refurb. w/ man. warranty on eBay http://www.ebay.com/dsc/Laptops-Netbooks-/175672/i.html?_fro...
