Tarox Modula Ultrabook, 14.1 inch, 1500 grams (3.31 lbs)
The Tarox Modula Ultrabook is an Ivy-Bridge based Ultrabook which comes in various models. Basically there is a Core-i3 and a Core-i5 version with either 120GB or 250GB SSD. The Display comes at a rather average 1366x768 pixels at a 14" screen. We would have loved to see some more pixels in there, but arguably at that budget pricepoint we may overlook this here. To put all in a nutshell: a good middlerange ultrabook at a budget price!
ZaReason UltraLap 430, 14.1 inch, 1474 grams (3.25 lbs)
The ZaReason UltraLap 430 is one of the few Linux Ultrabooks launched recently. With a wide variety of operating systems to choose from (Ubuntu variants, Debian, Fedora) ZaReason leaves no one unsatisfied. It comes with either a Core i3 or a Core i5 processor and some serious options for Storage. One can choose from 3 versions on mSATA storage (64GB, 128GB, 256GB) + either one of the two HDDs (250GB, 500GB) or one of the 3 SSD options (128GB, 256GB, 512GB) making that a perfect modular choosable Ultrabook.
Samsung Series 9 15 Win 8 (900X4D), 15.0 inch, 1592 grams (3.51 lbs)
Samsung's Series 9 15" model comes with a 1600x900 screen a backlit keyboard and an Intel Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen) Core Processor. Windows 8 models available from end of October 2012 and there's a lower-cost 4GB version. This is a very high quality ultralight with excellent screen and keyboard.
Vizio Thin Light CT15, 15.6 inch, 1796 grams (3.96 lbs)
Coming in 14″ (CT14) and 15.6″ (CT15) flavors, the Vizio Thin + Light is based on Ivy Bridge. Both feature the exact same ports, specs, and features. A whole range of Intel Ivy Bridge ULV processors is available: Core i3-3217U (1.8GHz), i5-3317U (1.7GHz), or i7-3517U (1.9GHz). All models are equipped with 4GB of RAM and integrated HD 4000 graphics. The screens are the only thing to set the two sizes apart. It’s good to see that an HDTV manufacturer isn’t sending this out with low res screens; the 14″ is equipped with a 1600×900 display while the 15.6″ comes with a full 1920×1080 display. We’ve confirmed that the 1080p screen is IPS, but the 1600×900 screen doesn’t appear to be
Toshiba Satellite U840W, 14.4 inch, 1570 grams (3.46 lbs)
Looking very focused toward that cinema experience but also something that will be useful for productivity. Side-by-side windows would work well in this resolution. The weight seems acceptable for the size and as with other Toshiba Ultrabooks, the port selection is good.
Samsung Series 9 15 (900X4C), 15.0 inch, 1592 grams (3.51 lbs)
Samsung's Series 9 15" model comes with a 1600x900 screen a backlit keyboard and an Intel Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen) Core Processor. Windows 8 models available from end of October 2012 and there's a lower-cost 4GB version. This is a very high quality ultralight with excellent screen and keyboard.
