i disagree.... with macbook pros / macbook air as a benchmark standard, which the ultra book is pretty much aiming to compete with, it doesn't require an IPS display.

Ewww a 1366x768 screen. The minimium for all laptops/ultrabooks should now be 1920x1080 and IPS, given that you can get a tablet with a higher resolution IPS for half the price.
whether you like it or not.. macbooks are taking over the laptop sales. just about everywhere you go, every coffee shop.. 9 outta 10 will be a macbook pro. hate apple all you want.. but they certainly have captured the consumer on the laptop section, as well as the ipad. the ultra book was designed by intel and many other laptop manufacturers to mimic the sleek feel and portability of the macbook in order to salvage the pc laptop sales they have failed to retain. i am not saying Macbook pros are the best... but they certainly are the most popular, and would be considered the standard for industry laptop these days if you were to design one. if one would to design a laptop today, you would certainly look at the success of the macbook pros and try to top it if not at least meet their standard. HP's attempt with their Envy to mimic the macbook pro hasn't successfully recapture their laptop segment.howzz1854 said:
