The Best Ultrabooks for Lightening Your Load
An ultrabook is a type of a laptop computer that is thin and light, has an 11 to 15 inch screen, features a solid state drive (SSD), doesn’t have a DVD drive, and boasts of a long battery life. Generally, an ultrabook costs a bit more than budget notebook computers.
For a good ultrabook in 2018 to run Windows, you shouldn’t settle for anything less than an 8th generation Intel processor, also called Kaby Lake Refresh. This offers a tremendous boost over the old 7th generation Kaby Lake CPU, especially in the Core i5 series as they use four cores instead of two.
You should also not settle for an ultrabook with less than 8GB of RAM. Ultrabooks typically use integrated graphics, which share the system’s memory. And Chrome isn’t getting any lighter. Whether you know it or not, you need that RAM. Also, look for thin bezels for the screen. It shrinks the size of the laptop, which in turn makes it more lightweight.
