You know...those super thin lightweight laptops that are trying to compete with the Apple Macbook Air.
I was looking at this one at the old shop: http://www.officemax.com/technology/computers/laptop-computers/product-prod3810054
I gotta say, the thing is sexy when you see it in person. And I'm not usually a laptop person but I was drawn to this particular one because it just looks and feels so nice.
I'll need a laptop soon for school so I figure get the small thin one with the fast processor and the SSD.
What do you say, too early to be buying laptops with a small size SSD in it? I figure you can always put a bigger in one later yourself eh?

My chief concern with those...
I'm a big person... I probably could snap one of those in half by accident... That's why I tend to go for bulkier laptops, harder to snap...

If you want a laptop that small just get a tablet with keyboard peripheral.

It feels quite well made and sturdy, it's a Toshiba. Should be alright long as you don't drop it or sit on it.

And 13.3" is too small for me... I prefer 15.6" or around there...
And cue the sexual innuendos...

I don't want a tablet. Tablets suck, seriously. They're overpriced and underpowered. They're for housewives who just need to surf the net to find cookbook recipes, and for dumbass college kids to play angry birds on between frat parties and sleeping in class.
The only thing that sucks about this ultrabook is no cd/dvd-rom drive :/

You post a $1000 laptop with terrible specs but "it's light" and then call tablets overpriced and underpowered?

I have three modes:
On the run.
Mobile.
Battle station.
This does not fit any of the three.

Am I wrong? All Ultrabooks are around this price range right now, you're paying extra for the form factor as well as for the SSD. A i5 processor and is hardly underpowered when compared to a tablet. Those tablets have processors that rival smartphone processors, they cant compete with a 2nd gen i5.
Am I wrong?
