I have to agree. this is how portable laptops are supposed to be configured. Now the price on the other hand…50% or less would start to look appealing.
this looks better to me than a 13.3 “ultrabook”. Â I wonder what the battery life is like
I still can’t find any review on it yet, same as my fellow I wanna know the battery life
