What makes an ultrabook not a laptop? Marketing.
Dimensions/processor type and lack of optical drives?
the "U" at the end of the CPU model mainly
But most are sub 14" screens and very thin/light
Intel's approved branding.
Some better specified notebooks (vaio Z) are not ultrabooks, but can be lighter, thinner and faster.
Ultrabooks are simply laptops without a cd drive with a £300 premium :)
We buy acer TimelineX's and put an SSD drive in them. Job done.
Yep, you get less but you pay more....... [ and then even more when you want the optical drive ]Quote:

Everything corp and manageable runs MS, RDP and active sync area still the answer, the difference is how the question is phrased.
It's all MP3 players?Quote:

Enough sheep pledge their undieing loyalty to them and the other major players follow suit with the same tactic, humanity as a whole seems to want to be subdugated, who are the profit seeking companies to argue, it's what the populace wants after all.Quote:

The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.
Are Ultrabooks as good as Apple Macbook Pros?
Depends on the spec.Quote:
