Posted November 14, 2016 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?

Posted November 14, 2016 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€ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
