Since I have seen the Lenovo ultrabook, I have been paying quite some attention to it. I had to wait until th 8GB RAM version was available. Now it is. However, another aspect I am looking for is a 512 SSD. And, I believe for now, it max out at 256.

This the list of the various models available:

This is the specification page for the Thinkpad X1 Carbon, which I think it probably the one I should focus on:

My requirement is the following:

Ultrabook
14"
Touch screen
8 GB RAM
Tablet ready
Black on either the inside or the outside
512 SSD
1600x900
HD wide
Windows 8 Pro

So far, I am not sure about:

Is the external color also available in black?
Is the 512 SSD supported?
Is Windows 8 Pro the same as Windows 7 Ultimate as to know that it has IIS server, capable of installing SQL Server, Office 2013, VS 2012, etc?
Is wireless supporting at least 100Mbps, or this is still max out at 56Mbps, I have heard wireless can go as high at 150Mbps now, my new fiber op router supports all that and up to 1 GB with the cable
Is the wireless security WPA2 supported? I would believe so as the recent printer I bought has it so laptops should have it by now I guess

If anyone has some comment on it, it would be appreciated.

Thanks
