Re: Ultrabook

A nice little notebook is the Acer Aspire 4830 series. Definitely consumer
grade but you can use 16 Gb of RAM and get i5 processors.

 Those specs are hard to come by, particularly the RAM.

 Most Ultrabooks have the ram fixed (if you are lucky there is one slot
 that you can upgrade).  The top of the range Toshiba Portege Z930 is 4GB +
 4GB.

 I’ve successfully swapped out the removable stick for an 8GB on my Z830
 which took it up to 10GB and it runs just fine.   The Chipset supports it.
 So if you can find something to cover the other specs and the chipset is an
 ivy bridge then you should be able to go past 8GB of ram to at least 12GB.

 I am trying to find an Ultrabook that meets the following specs:

 holds 16GB RAM (or upgradable to 16GB RAM)

 at least a 512GB SSD

 15 screen

 I have looked on Newegg, Amazon, Dell and Samsung sites and haven't found
 one that will support more than 8GB RAM with a 14 screen.

 Do any of you know of an Ultrabook that meets those specs?  I will wipe

6.8lbs does not an Ultrabook make!  I have a 17 monster like that but it kills 
my back lugging that thing across the airports.

My new MBPro w/Retina has 16GB RAM and a 768GB SSD and weighs a lot less than 
my old 17 MBPro or my 17 backbreaker laptop.

Sony Z2?

Doesn't meet your 16GB of RAM requirement, but weighs 1.1kgs (lighter than some 
ultrabooks), has a full i7 CPU, and 1080p screen (13), 512GB SSD, USB3, plus 
the extras (blu-ray, backlit keyboard, finger print reader, GB ethernet etc.)

Cheers

5 things wrong with it, that I can see.

1) It's a consumer level HP laptop.*
2) No NBD warranty available (at least on the HP product configurator), and 
you'll need NBD since it's an HP consumer laptop.
3) Win 8.
4) Looks like 4GB RAM max.
5) It's a consumer level HP laptop.*
