(not seen in the video, maybe it’s an option.) Spill resistant keyboard and reinforced carbon construction. This is a VPro-enabled ‘Ultrabook for Business’ with encrypted hard drive, TPM module and Fingerprint reader. Ports: VGA, headset port, SD card, 3xUSB3.0, HDMI, LAN port. No Thunderbolt port.

Starting price is to be a surprisingly keen 899 Euro so we assume some of the specs above are optional.

It weighs 1.64KG (3.65lb) Availability is, like all Windows 8 Ultrabooks, October.
