Ultrabooks
« on: 06 October 2011, 22:41 »
I want :cool:

The Mac Bookair was thin at 17mm, hows about these at 13mm at their thickest points and 3mm at their thinnest (same as MBA)  :drool:

Hopefully the Asus logo can be peeled off  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I read that computer firms couldn't create an ultrabook like the Macbook Air and sell it for similar money so Intel has created a fund where they help PC makers out with extra money to make the ultrabooks.

Which is kind of strange.

Looks impressive although I've never been a fan of glossy finished laptops as they look filthy really quickly. Deffo looks like a first real competitor to the Air.

having read the story, it seems that for about the same money as an MBA you are getting less features and worse screen?

Why not get a MBA and install windows on it?

Good point Bobo, but when the Zenbook is almost half the thickness (9mm) of the MBA (17mm) I know which I'll choose  :shocked:

When I've contacted Apple it wasn't great and the bloke didn't understand the problem at all and I had to repeat myself loads, poor for UK CS :undecided: my boss found that too, when his 6 month old 3GS died, and the replacement was just as broke.
