Ultrabooks
Anyone got one?
I'm looking at an Asus UX31 which my friend at Intel says is impressive. I wondered if anyone else has one already or anything similar? (no I don't need to know about the Macbook Air, as two of my colleagues have them already)

For what it's worth I have a 13" screen Toshiba Portage Ultrabook / (it was called an ultra portable when I bought it), running Windows 7.
After about a year, I'm still very happy with it - and still getting 5-6 hours out of a battery charge if I'm careful.

Our Asus netbook is built like a tank compared to my Toshiba laptop.
In the past, I have given Toshiba Portege units to IT engineers. So as you might expect, the units get thrown around a bit and chucked into bog standard backpacks alongside gym kit and the kitchen sink at the end of the day ... never had one fail.
Also know a number of people in the Financial sector using Toshiba Portege units....as you might expect, they've got a short fuse when it comes to IT, and yet have never heard one complaint.
