If you’re looking at several different laptops and you’re still undecided, the posts in this category might help, as you’ll find here close parallels between most of the popular ultrabooks and portable laptops of the moment.
Asus have a long history of releasing multiple laptops with similar traits and as a result, most potential buyers have a hard time setting them apart. In this post we’re going to address the Zenbook lines of mid-range compact 14-inch laptops that include the...
Since I’ve had my eyes on the Razer Blade, I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the Razer forums and I’ve noticed that there is quite a crowd that loves this product. But for some people, the Razer Blade doesn’t fill in all...
If you’re in the market for a premium 13-inch convertible with Skylake hardware and don’t have an unlimited budget to spend, the Lenovo Yoga 900 and the HP Spectre x360 are pretty much the only viable option to consider right now. Otherwise, there’s also...
My first contact with Apple’s 12-inch Macbook was brief and unconvincing. It took place in one of Apple’s stores only a few days after its launch, and the few minutes I spent with the showcased sample lead to a quick first-impression: cute, but there’s...
I’ve grown quite accustomed to using my GS60 as my daily driver over the past year, but I’ve always been interested in the Gigabyte P35X, as it is probably the closest competitor to the GS60. After my issues with Gigabyte’s Aorus brand, I was...
It is our wholly unbiased opinion here at UltrabookReview that Ultrabooks are great. Once you get used to the portability, convenience, and styling afforded by one, it is very difficult to go back to something bulkier such as a hulking ASUS ROG G-series laptop...
This post is a complete list of all the available Broadwell ultrabooks and ultraportables, a list that I’m continuously updating with the latest launches. If you’re visiting this post past the Fall of 2015, you should also check out the detailed list of Skylake...
Some of you requested a head-to-head between the Asus Zenbook UX303LN and the MacBook Pro 13 with retina display and I finally managed to get them side by side this week. I don’t have any pictures though, I did not have my camera with...
There’s a growing demand for high-end portable multimedia laptops and manufacturers struggle to get their best in front of potential buyers. The “portable” aspect is the real problem here, as a multimedia laptop needs to be fast, but cramming powerful hardware inside a thin...
If you’re after a Chromebook and don’t want to spend much for it, then you’ve probably looked at these two already, Acer’s C720 and Asus’s C200 (my review is over here, BTW). On a first look they are similar, as both are 11.6 inch...
If you’ve been following ultrabooks in these last years, Asus’s Zenbooks should definitely sound familiar. The UX303 is their flagship line for the second part of 2014 and probably for the first half of 2015 as well and there will be at least two...
In this post we’re going to pitch the Asus Zenbook UX301LA against the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. These two are some of the best ultrabooks money can buy right now, so I’m pretty sure many of you have considered at least one of them....
In this post we’re going to compare the Asus Zenbook UX301LA and the Asus Zenbook UX302LG, in their top configurations, the ones that I’ve already reviewed here on the site. In other words, we’ll have side by side the two most powerful Asus Zenbooks...
I’ve told you a couple of things about the Samsung ATIV BOOK 9 Plus in a previous article and in this one we’re going to see how the Book 9 Plus stands when compared to some of its most known rivals: the Sony Vaio...
The Vaio Duo 11 was one of the most interesting laptops from 2012 and one of the few decent convertible ultrabooks of that time. In the meantime, Sony launched the Vaio Duo 13, a revamped version of the Duo 11 that addresses most of...
Sony recently launched the Vaio Pro lines of premium ultrabooks and there are two distinct members in this family, the 13 inch Pro 13, and the smaller 11.6 inch Pro 11. And while the two share plenty of common traits, the more compact Pro...
The Asus Zenbooks are among the most popular ultrabooks of the moment, and there are plenty of reasons why you would want to buy them. However, there are several different Zenbooks available in stores right now, and that can get a bit confusing. Thus,...
While there are a few ultrabooks available these days, only a hand-full of them can bear the “premium” stamp. The Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A and the Acer Aspire S5 are two of these and if you’re looking for a top 13.3 inch ultrabook these...
Today seems like the perfect time for ranking, organizing and comparing what we think are THE laptops of the last couple of months and what will probably be some of the most popular computers of the next couple of years: ultrabooks. We are going...
Ever since Intel has announced the start of a new class of ultraportable and strong laptops called ultrabooks, questions started rising on our lips. Will ultrabooks revolutionize the market? Will they replace netbooks, tablets, will they chip some of the regular laptops’ popularity? Or...
Ever since the first ultrabook was officially announced, most technology enthusiasts got excited by either the Acer S3, the cheapest device of this kind, the Asus UX31, with a great screen and a very strong body, or the Toshiba Z835, which seemed to offer...
After being slightly overcome by the strong and beautiful Apple MacBook Air in the head-to-head comparisons we did a while back, the Lenovo U300S and the Asus Zenbook UX31 go one against the other in a battle that looks extremely balanced, at least at...
Acer and Asus are two of the most important computer manufacturers that decided to enter the fresh and exciting ultrabook market and their products, while short of being perfect (or extremely cheap, for that matter), are clearly strong and elegant enough to attract quite...
After a couple of general posts that I honestly hope you found useful and insightful rather than boring and formal, it’s time to get a bit ‘’dirty’’, to take two of today’s ultrabooks and compare them head to head in order to see which...
The Acer Aspire S3 is by far the cheapest ultrabook at the moment and, even though it cuts a few corners in terms of hardware and performance, is a solid and snappy overall piece of computer equipment. However, as much as it pains me...
While many technology enthusiasts and experts have seen ultrabooks as possible replacements for either regular laptops or netbooks, if you think things through Intel’s new ultraportable computer should be seen as the number one competitor for other computer devices. We are talking of course...
