Best ultrabooks

Ultrabooks aim to offer the best of portability and performance in a single package. Here are the best we've seen so far, whether traditional, touchscreen or convertible hybrids.

It's early 2013, and we've seen more than a year of official Intel Ultrabook activity to date. There have been more than a few misses in that time, but we're finally seeing enough hits that it felt ripe for a round-up. With Windows 8 being touch centric, there's now a good selection of touchscreen options for us to highlight, as well as the new hybrid tablet options. Plus a couple of traditional non-touch options that just know how to give a gorgeous laptop experience in a slick, thin form factor.
