Hi. i am searching for a good Windows based Ultrabook, it seems like that the macs are ahead in almost every aspect .. i simply don't like MacOS, and don't want to install Windows via BootCamp ..

 

I care for:

 

- good Build quality (no plastic)

- i5 CPU - 8GB RAM - atleast 256GB SSD

- between 11-14" and less than 1.5KG weight

- good battery life

- atleast FullHD screen

 

any recommendations?

Acer swift 3

The only downside being that the cpu is an i5-6200U, so not that powerful, but it has a great battery life

it also comes with an i7 version i think (i7-6500U)

8GB ram, 256 GB SSD...

Been using it for a few week it's nice.

I bought it because i wanted someting very portable.

It cost me 700€

not really that big in real life at all and when you then look at the build quality of the machine then it does not seem bulky at all.

kek not true at all. The red little nipple as I call it, is still used a lot, by a lot of people, they are super handy to scroll with.
