ASUS announces Zenbook Infinity with 13.3” touchscreen

By Steven Norris: Gearburn Editor
06.03.13 | No Comments

ASUS has been fairly busy at Computex 2013. It’s announced new tablets, phones and now the cream of the crop, the Zenbook Infinity is finally here. ASUS’ Zenbook range of laptops are MacBook Air-like with a distinctive style over the competition. The Infinity is one of the few touchscreen ultrabooks ...

Acer Aspire S7 review: thinner, lighter, expensive

Sleek, shiny and utterly sexy. This is the first impression you get of the Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabook. It positions itself in the same sort of market as the Macbook Air, with its lack of any kind of optical drive, its light body, and its smooth aluminium exterior, but is this ...

Asus Zenbook: The world’s most beautiful ultrabook?

By Matthew Buckland
08.17.12 | 2 Comments

For some time now it's been pretty obvious who's been leading the laptop stakes. I don’t want to say it, but let’s just say it’s a company that begins with “A”. Again its caught computer manufacturers around the world with their pants down, consistently innovating with products like the MacBook ...

Acer Aspire M3 Ultrabook – the middle child of laptops

07.12.12 | 3 Comments

A little over a week ago I was given the Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 (581T) to put through its paces. The good-looking, 15-inch “ultrabook” is Acer’s first proper foray into the ‘ultra’ arena and, unlike many of its competitors, it’s not a straight clone of the MacBook Air. It ...

Apple patents MacBook Air wedge shape, ultrabook manufacturers may cry

Oh, Apple. Just when we thought you had successfully managed to patent everything from here to Cupertino, you find something else to claim as your own. If you've been keeping up with the patent wars, you may have heard about Apple's on-going battles with Samsung (over pretty much everything) and ...

Toshiba enters the ultra-wide ultrabook era

By Staff Reporter
06.05.12 | Comments Off

Look at this picture. Stare deeply into it's cavernous void. Notice something amiss? It's a 21:9 aspect ration screen. Holy hell. For the uninitiated that's well over the 16:9 norm reserved for widescreen displays. And it's an Ultrabook, so it kicks serious ass. Toshiba's U845W crams in an Core CPU, ...

Acer Aspire S7 — a glassy, touchscreen, unibody ultrabook

By Staff Reporter
06.04.12 | 1 Comment

The Acer Aspire S7 has been outed at Computex 2012 and it's a stunner. There are two S7s, both touchscreen and raring to go with Windows 8. One's 13.3-inches, the others 11.6-inches. Both are thin, fast, and ultra-elite. It's the 13.3-inch S7 that captured our attention. With a Gorilla Glass lid, ...

The Toshiba Portégé R380-10R – the beast within

By Steven Norris: Gearburn Editor
02.27.12 | 2 Comments

The Toshiba Portégé R380-10R is the first “Ultrabook” (I use inverted commas because the term sickens me) I’ve managed to lay my hands on. It’s thin, dangerously fast and exceedingly powerful. The benchmarks, which I’ll discuss later, paint the picture of laptop ahead of the curve. Let’s find out how ...

Acer Aspire S3 ultrabook out globally

By Staff Reporter
12.09.11 | Comments Off

Ultrabook madness continues as manufacturers flee the margin-free netbooks and push ultrabooks out the door as fast as possible. Continuing this weeks launches, Acer has got its $900 Aspire S3 out to the rest of the world (it launched in US in October). Good looking, reasonably specced, affordably priced. Welcome ...

LG throws ultrathin Xnote Z330 hat into ultrabook ring

By Roger Hislop
12.07.11 | Comments Off

Ultrabooks are hot, hot, hot right now. Netbooks are in serious decline, and some manufacturers are getting out. No, it’s ultrabooks all the way, a category created by Apple with the Macbook Air. Now it’s all super-skinny bodies with 13” displays, solid state drives and full-blooded guts. The LG Xnote ...
