Looking for an Ultrabook bargain

Lhess84 on 22/08/2013 - 12:21

Hi Guys,

It seems like every deal im finding for an ultrabook is expired.

Does anyone know any good deals going for an ultrabook at the moment? Priorities are light weight and battery life.

Thanks for your help

  If you don't mind not having Haswell and can settle with Ivy then you can get last generation's under $1000 at the outlet: http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/product…

    The difference between ivy and haswell doesn't bother me - except that the 2013 model gets 9+ hours of battery life compared with the 5-6 hours that the 2012 model gets.

      That is the difference. Haswell chips are much more efficient.

      Haswell chips have about a 25% power saving over the ivy bridge chip + chipset. This doesn't explain the difference between 5 hours of battery life and 9 hours.
