    The model we’ve looked at, the S3-951-2464G24iss, includes a 240GB SSD drive, which is very nice given its $1699 price. You can also purchase a cheaper model with a regular 320GB hard drive, which shaves $300 off the price tag. Read more

    • Very generous solid-state drive
    • It’s essentially a clone of the MacBook Air for Windows users

    • NAND memory on the motherboard means quick resume times, Decent multi-touch touch pad for Windows
    • The MacBook Air offers better, for cheaper, Power button is fiddly, Screen noticeably wobbles when typing

    • Intro model is well priced; Good battery life; Ultrabook size and instant start;
    • Tacky interior; ordinary screen; flat audio;

    The Ultrabook has landed and it delivers on the promise of ultra-thin and light computing for a reasonable price. Read more
