Purists and most Mac fans have been saying that
Intel-sponsored ultrabooks are poor copies of the MacBook Air.
While these significantly thin laptops, which are PC makers'
varied attempts at creating laptops as anorexic as Steve Jobs' ultraportable
computer, may look like the MacBook Air, they are not MacBook Airs. In terms of
performance and wow factor, ultrabooks are just light years short of the
MacBook Air.

| AMD's Trinity processor offers hardware manufacturers the ability to make ultrathin laptops that cost less but are just as powerful as the Intel-powered ultrabooks. |
And to add insult to injury, most of the ultrabooks come
just as expensive as Apple's bestselling thin computer, or at least hideously
more expensive than conventional, thicker-girded laptops.
