Best 9 ultrabooks for gaming in 2014. Playing games on ultrabooks or thin and light laptops might have seemed unrealistic a while ago, but is a reality these days.

Best 9 ultrabooks for gaming in 2014

Despite their thin and light bodies, most ultrabooks pack powerful enough hardware to deal with at least some light gaming. On top of that, if you’re planning on running some serious titles on your ultra-portable laptop, there are a handful of gaming ultrabooks with dedicated graphics available right now as well, plus a few thin laptops that are actually too powerful to be considered ultrabooks. You’ll see what I mean by that when reading the lines below.

Anyway, we’ll talk more about all these laptops in this post, about their strong points and their quirks. Before we start though, you should know that if you’ll buy any of the newer ultrabooks built on an Intel Ivy Bridge hardware platforms (or the newer Haswell), these will be able to deal with quite a bunch of games.

Schermo, design e la maggior parte della componentistica sono quelli del modello precedente, e questo rende importante analizzare le novità per capire dove­ c'è un miglioramento. In breve, la nuova piattaforma hardware genera meno calore per un portatile mediamente più freddo; il touchpad riesce ad aggiungere uno step in più ad un sistema che ritenevamo già perfetto; l'autonomia migliora grazie ad una batteria più grande e alla modernizzazione di certe parti; le prestazioni grafiche godono della nuova scheda video. In tutto questo: i 1600 grammi di peso restano superiori ai rivali, e le linee iniziano a sentire i mesi nelle cornici del display.

Infine il prezzo di vendita del modello base passa da 1329 a 1499 euro, ma qui i motivi non hanno niente a che fare con questioni informatiche. Those New Macs Are Already Obsolete. Obsolete seems like a strong word to use for a new Mac that has features no Macs have ever had before.

Those New Macs Are Already Obsolete

But that’s the price of progress. What’s new today is old tomorrow. An unfortunate set of events has made it clear that all of Apple’s new MacBooks– the 12-inch MacBook, and both 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models– are already behind the times; great machines, yes, but behind the curve of technology changes despite the advances Apple is touting. Wait. But Not Forever! Many of us in the tech industry know the true story behind technology advances. Of course, the problem with that thinking is that you’d never buy anything at all because there’s always something new and better coming down the line.

HP made a Surface competitor with an even cooler kickstand

Again. This morning, it's introducing the Spectre x2, a 12-inch tablet that's bundled with a thin, detachable keyboard and can be propped up using a built-in kickstand. It's a pretty stylish package. Along with other PCs being introduced today, HP is trying to make the Spectre x2 look like something that would fit inside a modern home. I wouldn't say I'm an expert in modern home design — I just hung tablecloths over my windows as drapes — but my impression is that this machine would not look out of place at a Pottery Barn. That design language is most noticeable when it comes to the Spectre x2's kickstand, which is unlike most other tablet kickstands seen to date. The Spectre x2's keyboard is also unlike what you'll find on all but the most recent Surface models or the iPad Pro. HP's machine actually sits at an interesting place between the Surface and Surface Pro — it's power and price, $799.99 and up, are both right in the middle.
