Although in sharp decline in recent years, laptops are certainly not destined to disappear from circulation and, indeed, it is easy to imagine their revival. Tablets are not a passing fad, but inevitably they serve a different market from that of traditional PCs which cannot be replaced by tablets for certain activities and which, undoubtedly, are more comfortable for writing and working completely.
The revival of laptops, which has already been in place for several years, passes through a technological renewal and a differentiation of models.
For this reason, when you search online or go to stores, you can find different names of laptops such as: Netbook, Ultrabook, Notebook, Laptop, depending on the size and other features.

Most of these computers are equipped with very fast, light and quiet SSD disks which will ensure an ultra fast boot.
Although much faster, SSDs are more expensive than traditional hard drives so there will be less space and it will be difficult to find ultrabooks with more than 128 GB of disk space.

The price of Ultrabooks is generally high and varies from 700 to 1500 Euros.
The term " ultrabook " is essentially a marketing term that describes a new class of Intel laptops, designed to be light, but powerful, like the Macbook, but costing less than Apple computers and with a Windows operating system.
UUtrabooks are a good purchase for those who travel often and want something easy to carry and light, without sacrificing performance as it did for netbooks.
If portability and design are not fundamental, then it is better to buy a normal laptop, which, at the same price, is certainly more powerful and with more accessory functions.
