      Question Ultrabook?

      Hi guys,

      Been offered money for a laptop for university (graphics/web design and java programming etc). I am only interested in a ultrabook due to the portability but I need a decent spec for uni work, it also needs the general stuff like USB, full HD, good battery life. A SSD drive is essential to cut compiling times, blue ray drive etc...

      I need advice on this one please as not up to speed with laptops anymore. No Apple products please!

      Thank you guys

      Most people on here will tell you to go for a Lenovo but glad DJOD gave you an option ;-)

      I would look at the HP Envy's as well tho

      Thanks to akimba

      TBH I've noticed that in recent times HP laptop quality has gone a bit down hill. They were good a few years ago though. Over HP and Lenovo I'd go for Lenovo.

      Thanks to Mario87
