    Microsoft store has them for $999. It's the 1366x768 version though. With i5 and 128GB SSD. The screen doesn't look as good as the 1080p IPS screen on 13" but it's pretty good for a 11".

    USA did not release the UX21A (yet).

    The only UX21A officially release with an US keyboard layout is Hong Kong.

    Search my post for quick review.

    It's only at their B&M store. Call them.

    Unfortunately, only the lower res screen version is available at both BB and BM Microsoft store.

    Please ignore the BB link above. From the review, it does not seem to be carrying the IPS display. Weird. Even though it is a UX21(A).
