Top 3 Ultrabooks in the market right now

Gadgets & Gizmos' Nandagopal Rajan gives a lowdown on the top ultrabooks in the market right now:

1. MacBook Air 11-inch 64GB (Rs 64,666)
The MacBook Air now comes with the latest Intel Core processors, faster graphics and flash storage that is up to twice as fast as the previous generation. So, the best portable laptop of our times has got a little bit better. The slick and slim design as well as the ease of use that comes with the OSX Lion makes this our best buy of the season.



2. Acer Aspire S3 (Rs 51,499)
The Acer Aspire S3 too has been upgrades to the 3rd generation Intel Ivy Bridge chip. But it is still one of the slimmest and cheapest Ultrabooks available in the market. If you can live with the 1366x768p screen, then the S3 has everything you could ask for and that too at a very affordable price point.

3. Toshiba Satellite U840 (Rs 53,500)
The U840 might look a bit hefty for an Ultrabook, but it has the latest Intel processor and a Ultra Silver etched aluminum body. It has a full 14-inch screen, which also means there are more ports- three USB ports, one HDMI and a LAN to be precise. Toshiba has also added some software enhancements like ReelTime and PinBoard.
