HP Folio13 Ultrabook, HP ENVY 14 Spectre @ the HP Consumer Product Launch 2012
It has been a busy year for the tech brands, especially with the recent wave of tablets, smartphones and ultrabooks. One tech brand after another launched their respective models, each competing for todays finicky consumers favour and dollar.
One particular tech product that I followed closely is the ultrabooks. I have an ultrabook obsession and bought almost every single ultrabook there is in the market especially if theres one offered with a media discount.
Here is moi with my Toshiba Protege Z830.
The first to launch was the Acer Aspire S3, of which I was an evangelist (was because the contract has ended since Jan) and Im still a faithful user until today.
For RM2599, I thought the Acer S3 is superb value for money; even taking into account the annoying keyboard and the lack of SSD.
I have ordered my Asus Zenbook, the limited edition Rose Gold coloured one, i7 of which Im expecting it next month. Other than the Dell ultrabook, I have fiddled with almost all ultrabook models on the market.
Last week, I finally got my grubby hands on the HP Folio 13 (which at 1.5kg, IMHO is heavy for an ultrabook). However, the build is undoubtedly solid, as with all HP products.
