ultrabooks
Lightweight portable computers
Ultrabooks are lightweight, thin laptop computers designed for portability without sacrificing performance.
The term originated as an Intel marketing category around 2011, specifying standards for thickness, battery life, and processing power.
Though the branding has faded, ultrabook persists as a generic descriptor for slim, premium laptops: She travels with an ultrabook that weighs under three pounds.
