![]() All that said, it won't break your back to put it in a bag - I even got away with using a leather tote. Case in point: The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus both come in at 3.06 pounds, while some models, like the Acer Aspire S7 and Sony VAIO Pro 13, come in well under the three-pound mark. ![]() (Of course, a clean underside means the parts aren't user-replaceable, but that's par for the course for Ultrabooks.) Really, my only complaint is that the brushed-metal lid picks up scratches too easily, but then again, the same thing can be said of the MacBook Air.Īctually, I do have a second complaint: At 3.34 pounds, the Spectre 13 is actually on the heavy side for an Ultrabook. I also appreciate how clean the bottom side looks, right down to the metallic accents surrounding the rubber feet. To be fair, the build quality helps too - the palm rest doesn't flex or bend when you hold it in one hand and, thanks to a strong hinge, the screen doesn't wobble when you touch it. As much as that sounds like marketing hooey, it turned out to be a pretty smart strategy on HP's part: The brown lid, metal keyboard and champagne-colored chassis make the machine look. When the Spectre 13 Ultrabook first launched late last year, a company rep told me that the laptop takes design cues from other luxury items - namely, expensive cars.
