Which analogue to choose the place of the MacBook Air 13?

Tell me, what laptop (ultrabook) can you buy under $800, close in performance and quality to the MacBook air 13? As a result, I would like something more technological.
It is supposed to work with js / Java / Photoshop - with the latest photo processing
The choice ultimately fell on Lenovo ThinkPad T430U , the U prefix is ​​very important, because. there were a lot of configurations with S and without anything, etc.
Config:
i5-3317U / 8GB (2x4Gb) / HDD1Tb / 14 "I
plan to plug in a 250Gb SSD (throw the HDD into an external box), plug in 16GB of RAM (the latest BIOS update allows) and it is possible to replace the matrix with IPS (I googled it on the network, like some one gets up there, although it didn’t go around the factory in any configuration)
.
- Battery lasts for 4 hours with HDD (with SSD it should increase up to 7-8 hours + -);
- after installing the IPS matrix, we will most likely get 4-5 hours again;
- heats up in the lower part (CPU - 55-60 degrees, HDD - 40-42 degrees).
Of the benefits:
- aluminum case (there are pluses and minuses, see above);
- compact dimensions (14");
- battery not worn out (~10-11%);
- powerful stuffing for your money.
For the price:
- the laptop itself was bought for 15,000 rubles (~$ 250);
- purchase of a 4Gb stick ( 4 was) for 1400 rubles (~$20-24);
- HDD replacement with WD10SPZX (WD Blue 1Tb) for 3300 rubles (~$55);
Plans:
- SSD for 6000 rubles (~$95-100);
- buying two 8Gb sticks for 6000-7000 both (~$100-110);
- purchase of an IPS matrix for 3000-3500 rubles (~$50).
UPD. the charging unit is suitable from Lenovo Yoga 3 (model ADL65WDA), the wire soldered itself. From one end USB, from the second connector 7.9x5.5

There's no such thing. Save money and take the new air or pro model.
