Ultra books, AKA ultra-portables, ab ultra-thin, and super-slim. These are the terms that premium m notebooks now use to describe themselves. themselves. Are they appropriate? Going by design alone, yes. As for performance and the user experience – both complement the unique description to-a-tee. tee. After all, what good is premium material without the equally as power-pack performance and immersive user experience?

That is what the PC.com Showdown for this month is focusing on – the looks and handling of these e premium notebooks. While there e are plenty of brands and their respective systems to choose from, only three have been keen to take up the call. They are HP, Lenovo, and Dell. All three, of course, respectively put in their very best – the HP Spectre 13, Lenovo Think Pad X1 YOGA, and Dell XPS 13 – for this round of fisticuffs.

Other brands that have been en summoned include ASUS and Acer. Unfortunately, both bow out from competing. It’s really not a matter of spec cs as the devices will be on par – an Intel 8th Generation Core is necessary with LPDDR3 RAM, SSD storage, and Intel UHD Graphics 620. The bigger focus is on the features these ultra a books have to offer.
