Which laptop? Looking for a $500-$1000 Light (~3lbs) 13-14" laptop for MS Office work

Hey guys, curious if you could help me find a fitting laptop. This is to be a work laptop - weight is primary concern, light as possible (near 3lbs) with a screen 13"+. SSD for sure, enough RAM to be dangerous, and no real graphics requirements (literally 0 games). DVD drive nice but not at all necessary

Lenovo U430p sounded like it was in the right ballpark, but appears to be sold out of everywhere that's not refurbished, which in my limited experience sounds a bit risky. I'd like to cap out at $750, but am able to go up to $1000 if need be.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Ended up going with a Dell XPS 13 9343! (non-touchscreen version) (www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-9343-Touchscreen-Ultrabook-Review.135817.0.html)
