edutech4schools Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just got this emailed to me but some of these seem very laptop ish, but are being sold as ultrabooks Top Deals and Discounts of the Day | Ebuyer.com
LosOjos Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 What makes an ultrabook not a laptop? Marketing. 2
Dos_Box Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Dimensions/processor type and lack of optical drives?
HaleStorm Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 the "U" at the end of the CPU model mainly But most are sub 14" screens and very thin/light
Theblacksheep Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Intel's approved branding. Some better specified notebooks (vaio Z) are not ultrabooks, but can be lighter, thinner and faster. Edited January 9, 2013 by Theblacksheep
zag Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 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 ] Still people who purchase Apple stuff will know all about that...... 2

mattx Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 People who buy Apple stuff get OS X That's their problem......
SYNACK Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Marketing BS :-) that is the differentiation between most products. Hardware wise its all very similar, it's the marketing BS that separates it all. Pad, pod, book, slate. The hardware is effectively the same, it's the software that is a dead end or not. It's all kind of Zen, go with the flow and all that. Everything corp and manageable runs MS, RDP and active sync area still the answer, the difference is how the question is phrased.
X-13 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 It's all kind of Zen, go with the flow and all that. It's all MP3 players? [i actually have one of these]
SYNACK Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 It's all MP3 players? [i actually have one of these] The Zen was one of the first, it concerned itself with openness and universality, look where that got it, brand and restrict the balls off it then you end up with the apple hardware and app store. 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.
X-13 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 humanity as a whole seems to want to be subdugated Loki, is that you? Loki: [To crowd] Kneel before me. I said… KNEEL! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. 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. 1
X-13 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Are Ultrabooks as good as Apple Macbook Pros? Depends on the spec.
LosOjos Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Are Ultrabooks as good as Apple Macbook Pros? That has to be flame-bait! 3
Danp Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Are Ultrabooks as good as Apple Macbook Pros? I would not class a Macbook Pro as an ultrabook, Mac Air maybe

X-13 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 If it can do this its probably an ultrabook. [ATTACH=CONFIG]16578[/ATTACH] It can cut... but, will it blend?
