This thread is still going? Did the OP ever buy anything? It's been over two months already.
Nope - I still haven't found anything that meets my spec yet. :^(

The Yoga looks tempting I agree, but I'm holding out for 1080p resolution, a built in stylus, pressure sensitivity and possibly a larger screen although I dont want to go beyond 1.5Kg...I received a LENOVO YOGA 13 for Christmas. I love it. The hybrid works. The laptop configuration is just as good as any laptop that I've used.
No, not at all. It's honestly recommended even by Microsoft to up the DPI on a touchscreen as needed, even the Surface Pro's DPI is at 150 percent. I'm working on a Surface RT right now and I bumped up the DPI to 125 percent and I find it to be MUCH more ideal to poke.Bill - How are you getting on with the resolution on your screen? Do you already wear reading glasses? Have you had to increase the text DPI in Windows?
I am planning to hold out until Lenovo (finally!) provide a Full HD (1080p) version of the Yoga 13 - do you think it will be a mistake to have such high DPI on a 13" device?

But on such a high resolution touch display, I'd probably even go to 175-200 percent DPI increase. I know on a REALLY high definition touch display, 150% works but that was a 27 inch screen, not a 13 inch. When you have high resolution and a small screen, things are kind of small, so you need to up the DPI. I think that's actually how apple's retina display functions...
f you set the DPI around 175-200 percent on that kind of screen (the Surface Pro) you will in fact get things not to display properly. It works the same as in 7 and such.
Asus is coming out with an i5 and an i7 tablet/laptop hybrid called the transformer book series. Look it up.

They look too heavy to me.
e.g. Asus Transformer Book TX300CA is 4.2lbs (1.9Kg) and stupidly it's still using a HDD instead of SSD which will add weight and use up battery life.

As far as heavy goes, what did you expect? You wanted something as powerful as an i5 or i7. So, they needed to put in fan and the necessary hardware that goes with it. You wanted a hybrid, so they needed to put in a docking station so the device can transform between a tablet and a laptop. You wanted a 13-14 inch device, so that's what you get. The glass alone should weigh significantly.Asus is coming out with an i5 and an i7 tablet/laptop hybrid called the transformer book series. Look it up.
Checkout the ASUS ZENBOOK™ Touch UX31A
ZENBOOK Touch UX31A
You get a choice of Core i7-3517U / Core i5-3317U, 13.3" 1920 x 1080 screen, 2 second resume time, and it only weighs 1.4Kg!
You get a 256GB SSD and a "7+ hours" battery too.
It's a laptop so you cant remove the keyboard but I'm not planning on removing the keyboard so that's no problem.
BUT the problem is that you cant fold the screen back on itself to use in a Tablet type mode.
Also RAM is ony 4GB and you cant add more which is NOT good.
When wearing my readers I can easily tell the difference up to 400 pixels per inch.
