OVERVIEW

Who doesn’t get tired of having a bulky laptop weigh you down when going to work or school? By the end of the day you end up with an ache in your shoulders from carrying it around. But it is often a necessity to have a computer with you on the go, and that’s why Ultrabooks are considered to be the laptop of 2012.

Weighing in at just less than 3 pounds or less and measuring an ultra thin 21mm, you can take your Ultrabook anywhere and you won’t feel the extra weight. Not only is it easy to pick up and carry around, but it’s also ultra speedy; the Ultrabook computer is powered by the 2nd generation Intel Core processor, so it’s extremely fast even in situations where you are running multiple programs.

The Acer S3 Ultrabook is Acer’s first foray into the Ultrabook market, and it’s built for life on the go. Acer Green Instant On technology lets you wake your computer up and get it going in 6 seconds or less.  Acer Instant Connect memorizes all of your connection points, so you get quick and easy access to the web anywhere you go. And with up to 50 days of battery life when kept in deep sleep mode, you know this is a computer that will be there when you need it.

You might think of Toshiba in terms of televisions, but their entrance into the Ultrabook market will make you put down your remote control and focus entirely on your computer. The Toshiba Protégé Z830 has 4 gigs of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive that gives you the luxury of fast start ups to get you straight to work when you need to.  At 1.1kg and only 1.49cm thick, you can just put it in your backpack and go.

Look under the lid of the Asus Zenbook; not only do you have an Ultrabook fueled by the Intel Core i5 processor, but it’s also equipped with a 2 second resume time available with Instant On technology.  With Intel Turbo boost 2.0, your computer will give you a surge of power right when you need it the most. Choose the most graphics intense games or run multiple programs at once; your Asus Zenbook can handle everything in style.
