    Looking for an ultrabook that has a decent graphics card and the ability to upgrade my RAM to 8gb+ and 512gb SSD. I don't need a HDD as I will have an external 1tb one to backup. Which laptop allows for this type of upgrade. So I would basically just buy an ultrabook with mediocre ssd and RAM and then switch them out for my purchased 512gb ssd and 8+ RAM.

    Preferably a 14" screen with no glare.
    Brand doesn't matter.
    Good graphics card.
    Anti-glare screen.
    Aesthetically pleasing would be nice.
    intel i7 processor.

    Go with the 13" Clevo, it has a GTX 650M which is a beast for it's size and resolution. I think you may have options for the LCD, but you definitely can access the back panel to do upgrades, your CPU, ram and SSD.

    I think the widely avaible small celvo is a 11.6"

    14" with DDR5 650m +i7 = dv4t or alienware 14

    If you want matte screen, you probably need to DIY.
