Asus’s ultrabooks are part of their ZENBOOK family. Since the brand was created, only 11.6 and 13.3 inch devices were included in this select group, but there’s now another member: the Asus Zenbook U500, their first 15.6 inch ultraportable laptop. Now, the Zenbook UX51VZ, or U500 is not really an ultrabook like the UX31 and [...]

It might sound weird that we’re comparing a regular portable laptop with ultrabook in our title, given that the latter aren’t even a year old. But with ultrabooks on everyone’s lips these days, it’s good to know that producers are still working on good compact laptops one could buy without having to drop one grand [...]

We barely had enough time to get used to the idea(s) of the UX21 and UX31, that Asus will sweep them off the shelves and replace them with two brand new ultrabooks, namely the UX21A and UX31A. This happens mainly because Asus wants to release machines based on Intel’s new Ivy Bridge platform. While the [...]

Acer introduced the M3 and M5 ultrabooks recently at CeBIT,after the Timeline Ultra series of ultrabooks debuted earlier this year at CES. As it is with tech events launches, information is thin like a slice of bread if you’re on a diet. The two ultrabooks are basically identical in terms of specs and looks, the [...]

The XPS 13 is made of carbon fiber and magnesium, which means that it’s pretty tough [...]

As the realm god it is, Sony didn’t rush to launch an ultrabook per se in the last interval, but rather let all the other gods (big or small) to launch their own skinny laptops and see what it can pick from the field of battle. While Vaio Z and Vaio SB were slim, they’re [...]

They’re called Series 5 and they’re Samsung’s official war cry at the ultrabook standard, a while after Acer, Asus or Toshiba jumped on board the skinny frigate trying to drown the MacBook Air. Some might say that Samsung already had an ultrabook out, namely the 9 Series, but actually that entry failed to align with [...]

Well, it was bound to happen- ultrabooks turned all happy colors and thoughts in order to appeal to a wider demographic, as the company introduced the UX21 Pink, which is so overwhelmingly pink that we had to look away and catch our breath. B asically, this is the UX21 in posh clothing, as everything else [...]

The T430u is a Thinkpad T series ultrabook and we got the chance to take a look at it during the opening frenzy of CES 2012. At a first glance, it’s what we would expect from a Thinkpad series entry, namely the classic look, red nub and great keyboard. The 14 inch ultrabook weighs around [...]
