Before we actually get into the different models of the best ultrabook let us take a look at some of the strong reasons why an individual should go for an ultrabook and not a laptop.
An ultrabook is much lighter than most of the laptops so it is much easier to carry them around. They weigh about 3 pounds and have a thickness of less than 1 inch so you if you want to put it in your bag you can do that too. Women, take note! Depending on if you carry the size handbag that I do, you can even fit one in there when on the move.

The charge in the battery lasts for 8 hours, so it basically it means you can complete a lot of work in a single charge. Also allows you time to use it for a day and then get it home to charge up overnight.
People who are tablet users feel that they do not get the complete experience from those as that of a laptop and that is someplace the ultraboooks improve on. These gadgets give the users the exact feeling like that of a laptop. So basically the gadget is able to combine the best of both worlds.
Security has been a source of concern for most users in more recent years and the good part is that these ultrabooks offer very high security with technology that provides identity protection and anti-theft technology. The anti theft technology allows you to cut off the data access no matter where you are located. So if your ultrabook gets lost you can cut off all access to the data.
The more recent ultrabooks use processors that are energy efficient and are much faster than the ones found on the regular, more traditional laptop. Ultrabooks use SSD drives, so you no longer have to wait till the operating system loads. In fact you will be operating the computer within a few minutes. These drives are durable, compact and give you high speed performance.
