Fact #1. The term Ultrabook is trademarked by Intel to refer to a number of premium laptops that are smaller and faster than standard models. They make use of ultra-low-voltage Intel processors to extend their battery life. They have a small chassis for ultimate portability. To achieve such a small size, they often omit common laptop features, such as Ethernet ports and an optical disc drive.
Fact #2. Ultrabooks were first released in 2011 by Intel. Lenovo and HP quickly followed suit that same year. The following year, Intel created a 300 million dollar fund to support startups working on technology that could be integrated into the following generations of these laptops. They're goal was to reinvigorate slumping PC laptop sales at a time when they were facing heavy competition from tablets, smartphones, and the Macbook Air.
Fact #3. The first thing to consider is what size Ultrabook fits your intended uses. If you plan to take your laptop to and from school or the office every day, portability should be a top priority. No one wants to be stuck lugging around a giant, 17-inch laptop in their backpack or laptop bag.
Fact #4. You should also take battery life into account. Some models get as few as 6 hours of battery life, while others get 10 hours or more. Remember that these numbers are theoretical, though. Most laptops will get considerably shorter battery life in real-life operation.
Fact #5. Consider storage space and type. Laptops with an SSD will often have less storage space than their hybrid counterparts, but they are quicker. Booting up and reading and writing information from and to a disk will take less time. To save a bit of cash and still wind up with the fastest laptop possible, consider buying one with less storage space. You can then purchase an external hard drive to compensate.
