Tips on Choosing The Right Ultrabook For You

Thin, lightweight, and powerful. That's how to describe an ultrabook. Although the price for ultrabook not exactly cheap, but new genres like the Macbook Air had a good response. Many people are interested in a supremely slim dimensions and light weight. Moreover, because both excess is accompanied by a great performance as well. Interested? There are several things to consider if you want to choose an ultrabook.

Comfortable
Ultrabook designed for comfortable. Thin dimensions, lightweight, and instant-on features, is what ultrabook meant to be. However, make sure that you are completely comfortable. Is instant-on function working properly? Is the screen big enough? Hold and try before you buy is important. Is the keyboard and touchpad is comfortable to navigate? Is this Ultrabook comfort to operate? Is easy to handle, lifted, or inserted into the bag? Remember, once again, ultrabook is about comfortable.

Performance
This one doesn't seem much of a problem. Given the ULV Core i5 used in ultrabook able to provide performance similar to Core i5 Arrandale (first generation), which has a higher clock. So, it should be good, even ultrabook version i3 can provide high performance.

Capacity vs. Speed
Currently there are two approaches to obtain instant-on. The first approach is to use the SSD only. While the second way is to use the SSD caching. The second way requires a small SSD and large HDD. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Depending on your choice.

"Pure" SSD: Of course, this is a good choice in terms of performance and durability. In addition to allowing instant-on, the SSD also makes the system performance increased dramatically compared to the use of HDD only. However, the price of 120 GB SSD is very expensive. This will make ultrabook be expensive and storage capacity to be mediocre. Are you willing bartered performance with capacity (and still add a little more money)?

"Hybrid" SSD + HDD: This is an option that trying to combine the advantages of the two sides (SSD and HDD). The use of SSD as a cache drive makes the system performance quite significantly higher than the HDD only. Although still under implementation puree SSD, Hybrid system was still able to provide instant-on in very short time. Another advantage is, while using the HDD, the storage capacity remains large (320 GB or more) and the prices remain low. This is possible because generally the size of the SSD to cache drive only around 20-32 GB.

Battery Life
All manufacturers will display the battery life rating. Since the earlier version ultrabook has target of 5 hours, so manufacturers were just going to offer a battery life in the range of 5 hours. If anyone can reach over 5 hours, it is an interesting bonus. Note also that each manufacturer will provide a different battery life rating for different specifications. Example: ultrabook only with SSD will have slightly better battery life rating.

Appearance
Ultrabook is your best friend. These objects are designed in such a way as to present and perform at your side. Whether it's at a restaurant, café, at the boardroom table, or in front of important clients. So, make sure you match the appearance.

Prices and Prediction
Of course, the price will be your consideration. After reviewing the aspects mentioned above, determine which one fits your pocket. There are a few things to remember about the price. Intel has said that ultrabook should be offered at prices below $1.000 USD. Meanwhile, the next statement is ultrabook that appears today is the first phase. Next year, there will be second phase ultrabook which is certainly more sophisticated. And the third phase would be followed quickly. So, our advice, do not buy too expensive, considering ultrabook will soon be upgraded. So in terms of price, choose one that still offers superior in ultrabook standards but price not too high.
