Basically, I'm looking for something in the ultrabook form factor that has a decent amount of power. Ideally, I want 16GB of RAM, a Quad Core CPU and screen with a > 1080p resolution (with touchscreen). The Sager NP2740 seems great, however I'm not too familiar with the brand and am unsure about the 1080p non touch screen (I would like to have touch screen so I could take notes with a stylus). The MSI GS60 seems great, however it's too large for my tastes and I wouldn't want to carry that around with me all day. I'm also considering the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro as I tried out my friend's one and I really liked it, though I'm unsure about if it's powerful enough for my needs.
