In the market for a laptop. Something that’s light and thin (11” or less) and ideally something with decent battery life. Been using phone/tablet/desktop for all work & day to day use the last 5 years or more so I am not up to date with laptops/chromebooks. Will be using this laptop mainly for work (Microsoft office, email and some cloud based softwares etc). Won’t really need too much storage but would prefer a processor that’s half decent (something equivalent to i3 in desktop world if that makes sense). Brand wise, i have always preferred ASUS and Lenovo over Acer, HP and Dell (purely from past experience) but I am prepared to be convinced why I should go with a certain brand over the other. Did a quick research and quite like vivobook & yoga but I know close to nothing about ultrabook processors… which is why I have decided to turn to ozbargain for recommendation.
So, for someone who has recently used an ultrabook, please share your experience and if you’ll recommend it to friends & family?
When it comes to laptops,
Pick two out of the three. You're not going to be able to get all three in one laptop. If you have a budget of $500 and you want something thin and light, then you're going to have to sacrifice the "powerful" aspect, so would expect your laptop to be underpowered to some extent
