1244667 2011-11-21 19:55:00 Hi all,

I'm looking for a decent 13" ultraportable laptop for myself. I'd like it to have these specs:

- i5 or i7
- 4GB RAM
- Discrete graphics (not a deal breaker if it doesn't though)
- Don't care about optical drive or not
- Not fussed on hard drive space but min 250GB
- A higher screen resolution than 1366x768 (I think I may be asking too much here :))

Max $2000.

Toshiba or Asus.

Would like a 2 or 3 year warranty.

TIA :)

1244668 2011-11-21 20:34:00 Ultraportables would be more the coporate line right?

You may look at ASUS or Tosh - I know that Dell XPS has something as thin as 2.4cm thick. The Airbook is still at a 1.7cm I think for comparison.

What about this still 2kg thou ...

Maybe more a corporate type ultraportable without going being too thin. Mind you some ultraportables do weight about 1.6kg like the Lenovo X series....

1244669 2011-11-21 20:43:00 I'm after a corporate style one, yes. This is because they're built to last longer than a consumer laptop. jwil1 (65)
1244670 2011-11-21 20:59:00 Some of the big corporates outrightly uses Lenovo laptops - look at the X series or the T series then. I have heard the are tested for NASA use and military uses. Nomad (952)
1244671 2011-11-21 21:42:00 I quite like the look of this one: www.asus.com jwil1 (65)

Brilliant laptop, but too much apple hate around here to even bother mention it.

Your budget is a bit light what ever brand you're looking at for an ultrabook.
