5 reasons to consider buying an ultrabook

If you think of ultrabooks, you may consider them to be a copy of Apple’s Macbook Air or a marketing strategy from Intel. In some ways, it may be true, but we can also take these new machines as an evolution of traditional laptops. We can see a complete change of the curent laptops in terms of design, performance, battery life and even a good price tag. If this category of ultrabooks is the latest thing in the computers zone, what are the reasons to purchase such a machine? Here are 5 good reasons to go for an ultrabook.

1. Portability - Designers have given up a number of ports, keeping the most important ones to create a light and easy to carry machine. ultrabooks are designed to weight as little as 3.1 pounds with a display of 13- or 14-inch to be a great companion for consumers to carry with them all day long.

2. Design – While it is said “not to judge a book by its cover”, the design of any machine really counts for every consumer. These new machine provide an eye-catching and stylish form factor. Everyone will pay attention to the look of an ultrabook berfore purchasing it, so a solid construction made of aluminium alloy chassis plus a slim look will make the difference.

3. Performance – Aside from the aesthetic part, the performance has a substantial contribution when choosing for an ultrabook. With Intel’s new generation of processors: i5 and i7, advanced graphics cards or solid state drives, ultrabooks will provide fast performance plus a quick resuming from sleep and fast booting.

4. Battery life – The use of SSD instead of traditional HDD to offer less consumption or the presence of low-voltage Intel’s processors will make ultrabooks to last at least five hours on a single charge. Being an important key feature for any laptop, the battery life is a great asset for this new category called ultrabooks. There’s even word that some ultrabooks can last up to nine hours.

5. Price – When announcing the concept of ultrabooks, Intel said that they will be priced at maximum $1,000. Practically, there are a lot of ultrabooks out there that overpass this amount, but in 2012 the price tag is expected to come down. We have already seen Toshiba pushing out the Portege Z835 for a very affordable price. Being probably the most important factor when purchasing a laptop, an expensive price could be an impediment for consumers to purchase one.
