What is the difference between the ultrabook from the laptop

Ultrabook is an ultraportative and stylish laptop. The first ultrabook was created by Apple and had a name MacBook Air. Now many well-known companies represent many models of ultrabooks, but the name itself "Ultrabook" Intel suggested in 2011. Ultrabook and laptop are mobile computer devices that perform the same functions that have the same use options. However, there are a number of fundamental differences.

The ultrabook thickness does not exceed 2 cm, an average of 1-1.5 cm. Any laptop is thicker at least twice.

Ultrabook weight - up to 1.4 kg. This is achieved by using lighter and high-quality materials. In the laptop, the emphasis is primarily done at the cost price, and after weight.

Ultrabook uses such processors and video cards, the main advantage of which is low power consumption and heat dissipation. All this makes it possible to significantly increase the operation time of the device. Ultrabook battery - non-removable, unlike laptop.

There is no DVD drive in the ultrabook (as in some netbooks) and the HDD disk. Due to the reduced sizes of the device, it is sometimes necessary to use an external DVD drive, which is connected via the USB port. Instead of an ordinary HDD disk, a faster, less heating and less energy consumes SSD drive.

The use of the most progressive technologies and expensive quality materials could not not affect the price: ultrabooks at least twice as much as laptops with the same productivity.

So, first of all ultrabooks - image devices, buyers of which mainly appreciate compactness, reliability and design, and after that they pay attention to the price. If the price is not worth the price - you can safely go to the store for the ultrabook. If the ratio of prices for performance plays an important role, the choice must be stopped on a laptop.
