Ultrabooks are some of the most popular laptops to be introduced in recent decades, and for good reason. After all, Intel put a lot of engineering and money into developing a platform that solves the major complaints people have about their laptops.
An ultrabook has to meet very stringent requirements around size, battery life, and performance to provide a pleasant and smooth experience for the user. And when we say performance, we don’t mean raw horsepower. We mean a truly responsive and lag-free Windows experience, which of course is easier said than done.
These machines are now in their third generation and have shown significant improvements from the last generation. The new Haswell ULT platform offers significant power savings in light workload scenarios, as seen with Apple’s updated MacBooks that doubled in battery life. Performance is also increased, which is what we call a win-win.
Ultrabooks are also required to have either an SSD cache or full-fledged SSD to ensure the fast performance that makes for a smooth user experience. Today’s deal packs all of these awesome accolades into a stylish chassis and has a great price tag to match.
The HP Spectre 13t packs a dual-core Core i5, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, and gorgeous 1080p touchscreen into a slim 13.3-inch chassis that will give Apple a run for their money. Unlike most of the ultrabook deals we see these days, this one is fully customizable to meet your exact desires.*Right now HP is taking a full 20% off the purchase price, including any upgrades you make to the configuration. This is a great opportunity to snag a well-equipped ultrabook on the cheap.
