Personally I can't justify any ultrabook yet and they don't fit my needs or budget, but that is beside the point. OSX is, in my eyes and from my experience, the best OS for ultraportable laptops. Oh yeah, and it's real Unix.

Expect a lot of jealousy and denial, OP. It's fantastic.


Well For starters he spent at least, 1000 GBP, you could get a Laptop, just as good if not better for 750 or lower, Over-spent simple as..

he paid 1000 pounds for a Apple Logo.

No he didn't. Wipe the Apple logo off and preconceptions out of your head, then put it side-by side with the Asus UX31A and Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook. Tell me what you see.


One of the highest class ultrabooks with an i5, 4GB RAM, and Intel 4000 HD Graphics is $850 USD, cheaper than a mac.

Yet again, there's more to a laptop than specs.
