Get To Know- Ultrabooks..

Ultrabooks are the thinnest PC  you can buy and they are not just thins but have high-end specs and hours and hours of battery back up and above average resume from hibernation time.. But there are a lot of Laptops that have all these things but not considered an Ultra books.. so that what we are going to talk about..
There are certain things that make an Ultrabook ans actually make it different than Netbook, a Laptop or a Notebook or other things like that.. you need to meet a certain set of specification as defined of Intel . who pretty much came out wit the category as sort of marketing campaign to compete with MacbookAir, which technically is not an Ultrabook..



If the machine doesn't live up to the specs defined by Intel it's just not an Ultrabook . Besides the Intel processor there is a size requirement.. they cannot be fat.. Ultrabooks with 13.3-inch or smaller display can't be thicker than 20mm.. and for Ultrabooks having 14-inch or larger display the it's 23mm..and 23mm for convertibles..
Battery life should be atleast 5hours and it has to resume from hibernation in 3 seconds or less..

this requirement list gets updated every year and with the last update the I/O section got a lot of things packed inside... like it has to have a touch screen and voice command and to have a Wireless Display. or WiDi- it's an Intel's technology which allows you to stream videos, music, apps from your Ultrabook to a compatible HDTV..

Is Macbook Air an Ultra book? that's a question i get asked a lot.. Well technically No, because Apple doesn't use the software that's in the requirements called "Rapid Start" which is what helps the Ultrabooks to resume from sleep so fast but the Macbook Air resumes from sleep that fast anyway, So i would say it fits most of the specs to be an Ultrabook.. Close enough Apple.. Close Enough...

and Windows having Windows is not a requirement to be an Ultrabook..

So this is it.. those are Ultrabooks pretty simple definition actually i am really looking forward to the requirements list gets updated and see how they evolve..

If you have any questions in mind related to this or some other stuff leave it in the comments section down below, i'll be glad to check it out.
