Poll: Which ultrabook are you?

This year is looking to be the year of the ultrabooks. The first half of 2012 saw close to a dozen ultrabooks being launched in the Philippines. The spread is so wide that we’re seeing prices somewhere from Php30k to Php120k.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

So, if you had the budget, which ultrabook are you buying? (You’ve also probably bought one so share with us which one you got.)

● Asus Zenbook Prime UX21A/UX31A
● HP Envy 14 Spectre
● Dell XPS 13
● Acer Aspire S3/S5
● Acer Aspire Timeline M5
● Samsung Series 5
● Samsung Series 9
● Lenovo U310/U410
● Toshiba Portege Z830
● Sony Vaio T

Redfox and Neo also got their own ultrabooks which we saw during the Intel Ivy Bridge launch but I don’t think they have been released already. We may also include the Macbook Air in the list even though it’s not one according to Intel.

    The problem with choosing an ultrabook with SSD is two fold.

    One is the added cost in purchasing the ultrabook. The difference can be as great as P10K.

    The second is the limited storage capacity. Ultrabooks fitted with SSD usually have 128gb SSDs. With mechanical HDD or hybrid drives, storage capacity is anywhere from 320 to 500gb.

    Of course, the fast start up and quick access to your files is a positive thing, for a price difference of P10,000… I think it’s ok to wait a couple more seconds for the ultrabook to start up and access my files. The added benefit of having more onboard storage with HDDs a big bonus.

    Very Satisfied. Fast (boot up and shut down), light, Battery 8hrs and cool to walk around with hehehe. (nakawin lang, my friend lost his at Starbucks. Bilis ng salisi)

    I would suggest getting ultrabook with FULL SSD. It makes a lot of difference.

    Down side siguro ng mga ultra books you can’t upgrade them…..

    Happy Shopping!
