10 Gadgets You Can't Live Without

2. Laptops/Ultrabooks

2012 has been declared as the year of the ultrabook and rightly so. The first half of 2012 saw all the major brands launching ultrabooks. The tussle between choosing a laptop or ultrabook continues.  Well to make it simple. The main difference between a laptop and an ultrabook is that the laptop is more bulky and an ultrabook is slimmer and more portable. Ultrabooks are light and thin, as well as powerful and elegant. Though ultrbooks lack certain features which are there in a laptop, like an optical drive. In comparison to an ultrabook a conventional laptop is very bulky and heavy enough to make it not an easy gadget to port around.

So the choice between an ultrabook and a laptop rests on the how the user wants to use it and off-course the budget.
