Ultra Book Suggestion for Mom

[machistmo]

I need to get my mother a laptop for Mothers Day as hers is dead / near dead. Any Suggestions? Price up to US$2000. Ultra Book with TOUCH(MitchellVII is wrong touch is not dead) 256GB SSD or better. 8GB ram or more and great resolution. 17 15 or even 13 inch screen. Lighter would be better, more battery would be better.

In many ways, my dream machine!

Edit: I configured the Carbon X1 to my "ideal" specs and the cost came up to US$ 2600!!!!!

Yoga 13 has only 1600 x 900 resolution and no pen.

There was no mention of a pen requirement and any capacitive stylus will do just fine. The screen resolution is a hit but I am curios what kind of mom needs a gaming rig laptop?
