Because at first glance it will pass for a macbook air.
I don't say that with any bitterness. I have and love my air, but as I find myself using less and less of OS X, and really just living in iTerm and my browser, the real appeal of the Air to me now is the hardware. If the Ultrabook stands up to the Air in quality, I'm seriously considering the Ultrabook + Ubuntu (double-u?) for my next notebook. Also assuming Ubuntu runs well on it, which my guess is if it doesn't now, it will soon.
- shinratdr 15y agoWhy would you do that instead of just putting Ubuntu on the Air?
- jimrhoskins 15y agoIn the case that Dell (or someone else) had better hardware at a better price. It doesn't look like that's the case with the Ultrabook just yet.
- phamilton 15y agoI'm in the same boat with one crutch: Netflix. While I enjoy the fantastic gestures of OS X, I could survive without them. Netflix on the other hand, is irreplaceable. If (or hopefully when) Netflix runs on Linux, I'd consider it if the hardware were on par.
