An Ultra-Cheap Ultrabook

Best Buy has plans to sell a Toshiba “ultrabook”—an ultrathin, Intel-based laptop—for just $799. We don’t know exactly when it’ll be coming out—”sometime soon,” per Best Buy’s product page—but the news is noteworthy because it represents a new low price point for ultrabooks. The “Portégé Z835,” as it’s called, has one of Intel’s fancy new “Sandy Bridge” processors (a 1.4GHz Core i3-2367M processor, if we’re going to be precise). It’s got a 13.3″ LED-backlit TFT high-definition widescreen display, a 128GB Serial ATA solid state drive, a built-in webcam and mic, a mutliformat media reader, one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports, and much more. The whole thing weighs 2.5 pounds and is just over a half-inch thick. Expect to see an ultrabook battle around this price point in the coming year; we can expect to see a ThinkPad ultrabook from Lenovo around this price in 2012, says The Verge. HP and Dell ultrabooks are also expected in early 2012.
