NEC announces 999g 13.3-inch LaVie Z notebook in Japan

NEC announces 999g 13.3-inch LaVie Z notebook in Japan

If there's a company that seems to understand what Ultrabooks is all about – and no, we're not talking about Apple – it has to be NEC, as its upcoming LaVie Z is a mind-blowingly  light Ultrabook that weighs in at a mere 999g. This is at least in part thanks to its lithium-magnesium alloy chassis which is said to be half the weight of the usual aluminium alloys used in notebooks.

Samsung's 17.3-inch Series 7 notebook with Ivy Bridge lands

Panasonic shoves Core i5 chips in a netbook package

Panasonic shoves Core i5 chips in a netbook package

Apparently Panasonic doesn't think Intel's Ultrabooks are all that and although its new Let's note J10 is a fair bit chunkier than an Ultrabook at 35mm thickness, these 10.1-inch notebooks somehow manages to pack a 35W TDP Core i3, i5 or i7 CPU without burning up.  What's even more impressive though is that they can delivery up to 12.5h battery life, a feat we'd like to see some Ultrabooks pull off.

Panasonic announces its first Ivy Bridge notebook in Japan

Panasonic announces its first Ivy Bridge notebook in Japan

Best known for its Toughbook range of notebooks in most of the world, Panasonic produces a range of more consumer friendly notebooks in its home country of Japan and the company has announced its first Ivy Bridge based model, the Let's note B11. We're used to seeing fairly compact models from Panasonic, so this high-end 15.6-inch laptop isn't the typical product we'd expect, but it does pack a lot of high-end features at least.

HP's new Envy Spectre XT almost impresses

HP's new Envy Spectre XT almost impresses

Apparently HP didn't get Microsoft or Intel's memos about screen on premium notebooks/Ultrabooks being increased, as its new Envy Spectre XT ticks pretty much every other check box when it comes to being a premium Ultrabook. HP's new addition to its Envy Spectre range is by all means a nice looking notebook and the company has even managed to reduce the weight by a fair amount compared to the original Envy Spectre, yet it's not quite there.
