Help Needed! I need a laptop/ultrabook that is OSX compatible for college.

As the title states, I'm looking for a 100/95% compatible (sleep doesn't matter) laptop for college next year. I would prefer an ultrabook with a plastic shell/macbook-esk look. I will not be buying until the switch to haswell though.

I want to spend around $1600. Thank you for any help.

If I cannot find one, I will be purchasing the Dell XPS 13 Developer Ubuntu Edition.

the HP Probook line is often talked about here. Have a look at those, maybe they will work out for your needs.

For that amount of money you can buy a high end macbook.

You may be better off waiting, they might release a Haswell Macbook Pro soon.

Would it be cheaper to buy one with less ram and no SSD then upgrade it later?
