It would be nice , but not necessary

As you can see my specifications are fairly specific . And please don't suggest the main possibilities (ie alienware m14x) . I have looked at MANY notebooks already . Some examples that may qualify for my specifications are : Alienware m14x , Sony Vaio 14P , Gigabyte u2442 .
I like the Alienware m14x cuz I currently own a m11x but I would like a bigger screen .
So far I am the only legit 'Gaming ultrabook' that exists is the Gigabyte u2442 , but there's barely any news on it ever since it got announced . THe black Sony Vaio 14P looks AMAZING but there's like no updates on it either . Im turing to the Alienware m14x but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there (or will be out there) .
Thanks

If you like the M11x, look at the Sager NP6110. Same size screen as the M11x but a smaller, lighter, and far more powerful package.

Uhh I said I wanted to upgrade to a 13"-14" .. not get another 11" lol .. I'm fully aware of the Sager/Clevo 11" powerhouse along with the Origin Eon 11" powerhouse .. both run Nvidia gt650m with 2gb of vram along with other good stuff .
Good ultraportable gaming netbooks tho .

I am fully aware of his sticky .. it's a sticky , kinda hard for me to miss .
The difference is that his is '11-14 inch' .. and mine isn't . His has no resolution specifications , I'm picky about high PPI , his has a max weight , I don't care about weight , just size , and many other things .

thinkpad S430 is coming, seems very interesting

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 is the first Windows laptop with Intel's Thunderbolt; Edge E430 and E530 also announced | The Verge
