ULTRABOOKS :)

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Afternoon all!

 

It's been a while since I posted anything lovely for you lot (though you still seem to be enjoying those Z620's )

 

However, I've got a little treat for you today.

 

I've got a very limited supply of some ASUS Zenbook UX31A ultrabooks available.

 

They're delightfully slim machines and boast some lovely features.

 

Price is £380 per unit. Specs below.

 

1.6GHz 3rd Generation Intel Core i5 CPU

8GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz RAM

256GB MSATA SSD

13.3" 1080p 5-point Capacitive touchscreen

Backlit keyboard

Windows 8 Professional COA (Activated for windows 10 Pro)

12 Months Warranty

 

So... Who's interested?

I'm a big fan of ultrabooks ever since I got my Dell XPS 13.

They get over the awkwardness of the netbook form factor whilst still being a hell of a lot easier to cart around than a full fat notebook.

Not to mention being powerful.

Has anyone else here given ultrabooks to their teachers/SLT yet?

Nooooo! I was thinking of getting a laptop, why does this have to appear so close to Christmas

But it's not just a laptop... it has a touchy touch screen.

So the basic onboard GPU then unless your planning on running 40 man instances?

They only have whatever intel hd graphics are basic for the ivy-bridge ultra low power processors. But that should be enough for some fairly basic gaming

Yep, gave em all Macbook Airs 4 years ago. 4 Years on, battery life is still great and all day, no complaints about them being slow. Compared to previously people complaining all time once their laptop was over 1 year old. All our staff even use their own money to buy cover protectors for their Macbook Airs unheard of with the Acers, HP's, Dells we had before.
