    Uhh the whole point of ultrabook is uber thin and light that has cool operation. Any discreet video would wreck the whole point of an ultrabook (bad on battery, make it run hotter, redesigned cooling system to accommodate a 10-15 watt TDP dGPU, increased weight and thickness).

    Point in case, ultrabook you take with you to Starbucks to be mobile on the go. They are NOT meant for running CAD or rendering. You could consider a T420s with NVS 4200M with Optimus, but it's not exactly that thin and the battery life isn't that good (only having a 44 WHr 6 cell, though you can get an ultrabay battery, keeping the same form factor).
