Ultrabook Rules
I actually wonder when the last time a computer manufacturer, not named Apple, gave a damn about making a computer that made lives easier. Think about it: they don’t make the software, just the hardware — and yet that’s the part that seems like utter crap.
To put it another way: if Apple hadn’t made version 2 of the MacBook Air a wild success, would any other PC manufacturer care to try and make a competing product — one that Intel is begging them to make?
I doubt it. And that’s the problem.

Exactly the problem. Early last year I decided to sell my late 2007 MacBook Black, and decided to look around for a viable alternative. One came as the obvious choice, which is the latest MacBook Air. Seeing that the machine will be used mainly on a Windows environment at the office, I thought why not try and find the newly hyped ultra book instead. So I did, and let me tell you the obvious. I end up purchasing the obvious MacBook Air, because I can’t find a good enough build quality with the same price point as the new 11” MacBook Air. The trackpad and keyboards are the main issue. The other manufacturer doesn’t seem to care enough to the main interface user’s have with the machine, that is the problem.
