The HP Folio 13 is a 13.3-inch ultrabook replacement for the Pavilion dm3. The Folio 13 is equipped with a 1.6GHz Core i5 processor that maxes out at 2.3GHz with Turbo Boost enabled, a backlit keyboard, 128GB of SSD storage, and 4GB of RAM as standard.

Description

Toshiba's Portege Z835 is an ultrabook that's exclusive to Best Buy that weighs less than 2.5 pounds. The Z835 features a 128GB solid state drive, Core i3 or i5 processor, and 4GB of RAM for under $1,000. At 0.63 inches, it even has more ports than other ultrabooks; including Ethernet, HDMI, VGA, 3.5mm headphone jacks, three USB sockets, and an SD card reader.

The early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro had the same chassis as the previous model, but boasted new Core i5 and i7 Sandy Bridge processors. It also ditched Nvidia graphics for Intel's HD 3000 integrated GPU.

The 2011 MacBook Air keeps the same super-slim design as the previous model, yet includes double the power with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. It's also been updated with a backlit keyboard and Thunderbolt port.
