You have $900 to buy an ultraportable laptop

What are you buying?
I've never bought a Mac, but that 11" Air looks nice.

Surface pro 3 and it not even close

Are you wanting something in that size range, or would bigger be acceptable too?
If you're a Windows guy already, take a close look at the Dell XPS 13. Several models to choose from, though I'd opt for the $999 version for the 8GB of RAM, but otherwise just get the $799 version with the i3 and 4GB of RAM. They are direct competition and look very similar to the Air. Basically the same size and weight but notably longer battery life than the Air (which previously held the crown for battery life). 15 hrs. supposedly. Higher res screen, too.
The other ad nauseam suggestion you'll get in this thread is the Surface Pro 3.
EDIT: Already

Whoa I thought those were $1200 for some reason.
Work has one I can test out. May go that route.

I have an XPS 11 from work. I really like it, but the screen is not all that great.
This one I buy would mainly be for wife to websurf, look at houzz, etc.

Your old XPS 11 screen =/= the 2015 XPS 13's 1080p IPS panel...

Of course, and you realize there are good reasons for that.
But your suggestion is an excellent one too. I suspect that for many a big difference will be personal preference regarding the keyboard. The resolution and connectivity options are IMHO generally comparable across models.

Air no doubt.
Plus guaranteed BJ's for an Air.
A Surface? Maybe a hand job with a yellow dishwashing glove on....
A Dell? Do it yourself bout as good as it's gonna get.

I don't know, I might rather the glove. Your wife gives a toothy blowjob.

Don't find yourself missing a touch screen? Is the trackpad good enough without using a mouse?

No. Not at all. I came from an HP. It was quite an upgrade for me anyway.
