Ultrabooks vs Hardware and software

With the introduction to a new line of laptops called ultrabooks, What are ultrabooks?
Ultrabooks are just basically a laptop with a higher specification than normal laptops and they either use the i3, i5 or the i7 processor from intel and that's basically it, there's no new internal way of making a laptop to make it a lot faster, it's just basically a naming convention that laptop manufactures have gave laptops to make laptops popular again. I don't currently own a ultrabook but from what i've read about them and from what i've seen, it's just basically a laptop with a new name and a maybe a beter processor. We aren't going to refer to them in everyday use and call them ultrabooks. They are and fundamentally laptops with a better spec.

I was going to create another blog for this but since my rant on ultrabooks is small, i thought i'd talk about it here. Nobody really cares about the hardware, they only really care about the software and when i say hardware i don't mean what the internals have got such as how much ram it has or what speed the processor rans at, i'm talking about what the keyboard feels like, the trackpad, the materials that it's made from and how they've been put together. I'm not really fused about what laptop i get, all i'm concentrating on, the specifications of the laptop, is it up to speed with today's CPU's and GPU's, will it be comfortable to type on for long periods of time and how well it sits on my desk or lap, has it got a good fan to keep it cool whilst i've got it on my lap. Sure it's nice to have a good looking laptop such as a macbook but really all i care about is the user experience, the internal hardware and is it comfortable.

Sorry if this is a bit late, we were actually filming our soap opera today (the one that we've been planning for a bit now). i've not actually been on a computer today to update my blog and as always
Thanks for reading my rants
