After trying to compete with Apple for the smartphones, Dell makes yet another move to compete with best in the market, “The Mac book Air” by launching its very own Ultra book. It surely is a smart piece of work but still not as good as the Mac book. Made with the base of carbon fiber having high strength to weight ratio, it gets remarkably light and cooler. Not only it is light, its also way too thin measuring only 6mm at its thinnest point which makes it highly portable. The stylish aluminum lid gives it a stunning look and one cannot ignore its durability, making a perfect combination. The 13.3” inch Corning Gorilla Glass screen is compact, strong and definitely impressive and allows larger screen to fit into smaller chassis but the display quality is not so good.
Besides having features like backlit keyboard, large touchpad and edge to edge Corning Gorilla Glass screen, it has touchpad of glass with integrated buttons with gesture support which is quite smooth to work upon. The battery life is impressive, being 8 hours and 53 minute(claimed). But when we compare it with the others in the market like the Mac book Air or the Acer ultrabook,it definitely makes you spend big big bucks. A USB 3.0 was much awaited, but there are just two when normally there are three and on top of that, there isn’t any card reader present !!!!
Apart from the looks, the Ultra book is powered by Intel’s 2nd generation processors, the core i5 and i7 that gives it speed you’d really want with that price. The question is, should you buy it? Well it’s a combination of beauty and speed, but issues like poor battery life and poor display really need to be thought upon before spending those 80000 bucks.
