I have a Macbook Air. Best laptop bar none. Light, Thin, SSD. Enuf said.作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-2-3 23:07
Ultrabook is more powerful as it has a i3 or i5 processor.
Macbook Air is probably the best now as it is the most solid build compare to the Sony Z, Toshiba Z830 and the Asus U21.

Okay... Pls... NO APPLE... lol I realli dislike apple... lol作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-2-5 21:50
The ironic thing is, Ultrabook was out in the market many many years ago. They were called sub-notebook back then and I had the Sony UX280, and it was the best "small" computer I ever had.. imagine 800x600 res on a 4" touch screen! The Toshiba Libretto, oh.. that's another beauty I wanted to own.
"Ultrabook" is a name owned by Intel so it is merely just another marketing scheme by them. Nothing new and exciting about it.
I deal/service these hardware everyday, with all the competition going on... Apple was able to build these guys so much better for the same $$$.
I use a Macbook Air, Toshiba Z830 and Sony Z212 at work, and I feel like I will break the Z830 or Z212 just because I squezze the screen too hard. I have been using the 11" MBA running bootcamp on it, it is speedy for everything except it runs a bit too hot.
Bear in mind that in CES, EVERYONE is trying hard to mimic the Apple products. We can't deny that Apple makes some amazing products that the market is using them as benchmark whether we like it or not.
Out of the Ultrabook I've worked on and using... My rank are:
- Apple Macbook Air - sturdy build, excellent display, long battery life.
- Sony Z212 - sturdy, rubbery business feel, high-res screen, include ext GPU+DVD.
- Samsung Series 9 - Clone of the Macbook Air, solidly build, little flexes
- Asus UX21 series - Good well rounded spec, nothing too exciting.
- Toshiba Z830 - Lots of connectivity, good price
- Acer S3 - Cheap piece of junk!

lol does that mean I should go for Macbook Air n install Windows? lol作者: chobit 時間: 2012-2-10 01:19
Macbook air is the only laptop I can work with and prefer without a mouse. I am big PC user, (IT Manager) all windows base computers, and when I get home, my Key desktop is a PC, but I don't think I'll go back to a PC Laptop.. The Macbook Air is alot better in many areas.
Just to name a few: Awesome Multi-Touch Touch-Pad, Long battery life, relatively high quality screen. Well build, boot up alot faster than PC, shutdown take only 2-3 secs. Hardly have an single issue with WiFi when resume from sleep. Smart AC Charger connectoin to the laptop.作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-2-10 23:06
Macbook Air can run on Boot Camp, but the battery life suffers and heat increases as the fan is not optimized based on load (Apple has done an excellent job on thermal management). Even with the new i5 version, running Parallel 7 with Windows 7 is more than sufficient for everyday tasks.
For the price Apple is asking, I can't think of anything better than the Macbook Air.
