What are the specifics that makes an Ultrabook different from any other laptop?

Q. Im going to buy a new laptop soon and I want to understand if this is a superior type than any other or is it just some fancy named laptop?

You'll recognize an Ultrabook-style laptop by it's very thin, (typically) unibody chassis (meaning the entire chassis is made of a single piece of metal as opposed to several parts that detach), omission of optical drives (CD/DVD), and occasionally the omission of other adapters, like Ethernet, FireWire, or USB. If you're not concerned about the thinness, weight, or aesthetic of an ultrabook, you might not be able to justify the price, which is typically up to several hundred dollars more than a similarly-featured standard laptop.

Are Ultrabook good for graphic design work?

Q. If so, which is a good brand model to get?

A. As good as other laptops if you want one with discrete GPU. Of course, i7 qm is the best CPU, however, ...



Thanks!
