While some of the more hardcore geeks may scoff at ultrabooks, especially considering how they tend to lack high performance parts and use low-voltage Core i3 or Core i5 CPUs, the reality is that an ultrabook is pretty much the ideal PC for the average user.
Most people simply don’t need an expensive Core i7 processor, a speedy SSD, or battery-draining discrete graphics. With Intel’s 3rd generation of Core processors, aka Ivy Bridge, you get more than enough CPU and graphics performance out of the mainstream Core i3 and Core i5 parts. Browsing web pages and watching videos really doesn’t need quad-cores and a massive GPU.
With focus placed on thin-and-light design, long battery life, solid user experience, and competitive price, the Uultrabook is one of the most consumer-friendly PCs to date. Models like today’s Toshiba Satellite offers a great user experience out of the box and, for the most part, consumers need just look for the Ultrabook label!
The Satellite U945-S4380 is comprised of those aforementioned mainstream parts: a Core i3 low-voltage processor with the new HD 4000 graphics built-in, a 32GB SSD cache that speeds up booting and app loading, a 500GB hard drive for uncompromised storage capacity, and very portable dimensions for a 14″ laptop at 0.82″ thin and 4.1 lbs. It also has goodies like USB 3.0, HDMI output, media card reader, and now Windows 8 preloaded.
