I completely disagree with the point of view in this article. I recently purchased an ultrabook because I realised that is exactly what I wanted. Reason: weight and size. I do agree that the current incarnation of ultrabooks isn't there yet. I always find that one or more of the following are wanting: they either have a limited 128 GB SSD hard drive or they have a tiny 32 GB hard drive plus large conventional drive, but the boot up speeds are slow (25-40s instead of 3-12s), or the screens are dull and flat with inaccurate colours lacking vibrance, or the touch pad keys are integrated with the rest of the pad and operate intermittently, or the cursor keys are too small (seemingly for no reason whatsoever), or the performance is jerky due to slow AMD or first generation Intel 1.7GHz processors, or they don't have enough RAM, or the battery life is terrible, or the machines just look really awful or are too heavy for an ultrabook, etc. And if they do have everything right, they are still way too expensive and/or don't support flash. Nevertheless, I am utterly convinced ultrabooks will be a huge hit when they finally get them right. DVD drives will disappear and people will use SD cards and wireless peripherals for everything.
