Intel is putting a lot of weight behind the Ultrabook concept and expects

it to be the main driver of PC market growth in the short term. Apple has

already experienced some of this with the MacBook Air, which has rapidly

become one of the best sellers in the Mac lineup. Arguably it's the laptop

to beat if you are looking into buying an ultrabook-styled portable.

 

With that in mind, weÂ’re taking a couple of Wintel alternatives to check

how well they stack up next to the new 13-inch MacBook Air and perhaps

settle the old debate about the so-called “Apple Tax” — at least in this

category, since there's no way a single comparison can be representative of

the entire Apple Tax argument.

 

Thank you.
