Unfortunately, I can't recommended any specific machines as I haven't used any Ultrabooks. However, I have noticed that CAD prefers a faster CPU with fewer threads over a slower CPU with more threads for editing (photo rendering is the opposite). Check out Intel's site for the specific details on their mobile processors. They give more info than the Ultrabook manufacturers generally give. Also check any reviews of the product to see if their is any problems with thermal throttling.
