Does Anyone Have An Ultrabook? - GoFuckYourself.com

I plan on doing a lot of traveling this year and want a laptop that I can work from without issues.

I've been impressed with the ASUS Zenbook series

I'm thinking about buying the ASUS UX21 11.6"

It has an i5-2467 Processor, 4GB DDR3, 128GB SSD, SATA III (5 Hours Battery)

Or do I just pay the extra and buy the UX31E with the 13.3" screen that has an i7-2677M Processor and a better battery (7 Hours)

They both weigh the same at 1.3 kg. I'd prefer the UX21 due to the size but will I notice a considerable performance boost with an i7 Vs i5 processor?

i did some travelling with a netbook 10.1". Just for excel, linkbuilding, emailing. So no site designing or other work I normally do. The screen is also way too small to do any serious work. I'd assume 11.6" isnt much difference.

I've got a 13.3" laptop now, and I think it's perfect. Just small enough to take with you, and big enough to do all the work on you can imagina. I use it full time for all my work now.

That's really good to know, I've only used 15" laptops so I wasn't sure about moving to a 11.6"

Thanks Nico
