A few years ago Dell built some of the best notebooks in the market. The D-series notebooks were solid business machines which could rivaled or bested Lenovo's Thinkpads. The Dell XPS were on the cutting edge of notebook design and performance. And then, there were the amazing Dell Adamo laptops. But something happened along the way, and the Dell brand started to become stale and boring. That is about to change. With the new Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook, Dell is back.

Dell XPS 13
A few years ago Dell built some of the best notebooks in the market. The D-series notebooks were solid business machines which could rivaled or bested Lenovo's Thinkpads. The Dell XPS were on the cutting edge of notebook design and performance. And then, there were the amazing Dell Adamo laptops. But something happened along the way, and the Dell brand started to become stale and boring. That is about to change. With the new Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook, Dell is back.HP Envy 14 Spectre
The Spectre is a premium machine, and it's not just that HP needed something high-end to take the place of the last-gen Envy 14. This also happens to be the company's first consumer-grade Ultrabook, and it arrives at a time when there are many to choose from. Enter HP's marketing department: the outfit's touting this thing as a "premium Ultrabook" -- the kind of machine you'd choose if you wanted a 1600 x 900 IPS-quality display or an unorthodox design. For that kind of beauty, though, you're looking at $1,400 and up -- a princely cost of entry when you consider lots of similarly specced models go for $1,100 or less.Lenovo IdeaPad U300S
IdeaPad U300s is the thinnest, best looking laptop I've seen so far from Lenovo's consumer line.”These ultraportable notebooks are designed for fashion-conscious PC users who want a well-equipped laptop with the latest technology and good looks to boot
Slim, Ultrabook™ design for easy mobility, from just 0.6” thin.Minimalist, one-piece aluminum shell, available in Graphite Gray or Clementine Orange
Samsung Series 9
Just a half-inch slender and weighing less than 3 pounds, the new Series 9 is Samsung's thinnest, trimmest notebook. Rendered in elegant brushed aluminum, the refined aerodynamic shape looks just as beautiful on your desk as it does on the go. And you can go wherever the day takes you, because the Series 9 is incredibly lightweight but amazingly durable.
The beauty of the Series 9 is way more than skin deep. The SuperBright screen transforms your viewing experience with 400-nit brightness that provides brilliant color and images even when viewed in direct sunlight while the state-of-the-art i5 Intel® Core™ processor lets you multitask at mach-speed.

Samsung Series 5
The Good:
Bright, matte display; discrete graphics; comfortable keyboard; good two-finger scrolling on touchpad.The bad:
Size and weight is similar to mainstream non-Ultrabook laptop; more costly than its competitors; off-axis viewing could be better; some bloatware.
Asus Zenbook UX31
The ZENBOOK™ uses a precision-crafted design measuring only 3mm at the front and 9mm at the rear. The form features razor thin edges and a curved center section, which is both practical and attractive – while accommodating the powerful computing components within, this design also looks totally unique. It embodies beauty and strength in complete balance and harmony. LG Z330 and Z430
LG's bringing its first two MacBook Air clones to CES 2012 this year, and it's going downright hyperbolic with the naming scheme: the previously-announced 13.3-inch Xnote Z330 and its larger 14-inch brother the Z430 will be "Super Ultrabooks" when they launch in the first quarter of 2012. We don't have prices yet, but on paper the ultrabooks sound generally like more of the same, with up-to-Core i7 Intel processors, integrated Intel graphics, 1366 x 768 resolution screens, a small array of ports and either an internal SSD or 500GB hard drive with optional SSD caching.
