Five Characteristics of Ultrabooks

Size
One of the most lucrative features of Ultrabooks is their size. These laptops are thin and light (3 lb or less), with screen sizes that give you the view you need.
Common Features
Ultrabooks don't have some of what you might consider common, stock laptop features, such as optical drives or Ethernet ports. However, this is part of the "trade-off" for such a sleek design. When selecting a laptop, only you can rank the many features in terms of what’s most important to you.
Special Features
Many Ultrabooks are loaded with even more special features in addition to the standard ones. Some are designed as a 2-in-1 convertible laptop and others come with a touch-screen. Still other special features include 3G/4G modems and optical drives. There are even gaming Ultrabooks with dedicated graphics memory. Check out our wide selection to see which style best suits your needs.
