Ultrabooks<\/strong> are ultra-slim, lightweight laptops<\/strong> with an attractive design. These devices are easy to spot thanks to their weight of less than 1.5 kg<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

These PCs<\/strong> also stand out from other models thanks to their maximum thickness of 1.5 cm<\/strong>. The 14\u2011inch<\/strong> screen of an ultrabook is another of its key features. <\/span><\/p>\n

The compact size of an ultrabook makes it ideal for students<\/strong> and professionals<\/strong> who travel a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n

A device with good battery life <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ultrabooks<\/strong> are mobile devices<\/strong> with good battery life. The battery<\/strong> in these laptops<\/strong> holds its charge<\/strong> longer than that of a standard laptop. However, be wary of the figures given by manufacturers, as they are often overestimated. The real battery life<\/strong> of an ultrabook is usually around 50 to 80%<\/strong> of the advertised battery life. <\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing your laptop<\/strong>, refer to the quoted battery life in the technical<\/strong> specifications. If this is listed as 12 hours<\/strong>, the maximum realistic usage time will be around 6<\/strong> hours<\/strong>. This assumes the laptop<\/strong> is fully charged to 100%<\/strong> beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should also bear in mind that how you use<\/strong> your device<\/strong> has a major impact on battery<\/strong> life. Keep an eye on power\u2011hungry activities if you plan to use your ultrabook<\/strong> away from the mains for long periods. Keeping Wi\u2011Fi<\/strong> permanently on, running heavy<\/strong> software<\/strong> and playing video games<\/strong> are just some examples of tasks that consume<\/strong> a lot of power<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look after the battery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every battery has a limited<\/strong> lifespan, whatever the type of laptop: ultrabook, notebook, gaming laptop, etc.<\/strong> After around 18 months<\/strong> of use, a battery\u2019s runtime starts to gradually<\/strong> deteriorate. It normally becomes completely unusable<\/strong> after about 3 years<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

When the battery in your ultrabook reaches the end of its life<\/strong>, there is no need to worry. You can easily find brand\u2011new<\/strong>, high\u2011performance<\/strong> replacement batteries. BatteryLaptop<\/strong> offers brand\u2011new power accessories<\/strong> (charger, battery<\/strong>) with the same specifications as the original<\/strong>. The components used in our replacement parts allow your device<\/strong> to regain its original performance<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful when changing the battery<\/strong> in your ultrabook<\/strong>. These devices are generally fitted with a built\u2011in battery<\/strong>. You therefore have to remove the bottom cover of the laptop<\/strong> to access it. This is not as straightforward as replacing a removable<\/strong> battery, but it is still manageable, even for someone with no prior experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

Performance <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The relatively small size<\/strong> of ultraportables<\/strong> leaves very little room for their components. To make up for this, their internal hardware is smaller<\/strong> but more powerful<\/strong>. For example, 2021 ultrabook<\/strong> models come with a 512 GB<\/strong> SSD<\/strong>, at least 8 GB<\/strong> of RAM<\/strong> and an Intel Core i7<\/strong> processor.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this kind of specification, an ultrabook can be ready to work in under 7 seconds<\/strong> after being switched on<\/strong>. This is very handy when you need to start up your laptop<\/strong> quickly to look up some information<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to the graphics card<\/strong>, an ultra\u2011slim laptop<\/strong> is less suitable for demanding gamers<\/strong>. An integrated<\/strong> graphics processor similar to Intel\u2019s HD Graphics 620<\/strong> is not powerful enough for modern video games<\/strong>. This level of performance is fine for watching a film<\/strong> or doing some photo editing<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other features of an ultrabook<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ultrabooks<\/strong> do tend to run a little hot because of their compact size and integrated design. This drawback is most noticeable during intensive<\/strong> or prolonged<\/strong> use. So switch off the device<\/strong> when you take a break<\/strong>. The laptop<\/strong> should also be placed on a flat<\/strong>, hard<\/strong> surface. The number of ports on an ultraportable is also more limited than on a standard laptop. This can be an issue if you have lots of peripherals<\/strong> to connect<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In short, despite their compact size and very light weight, ultrabooks deliver performance that lives up to expectations. You just have to compromise when it comes to 4K gaming and very power\u2011hungry applications.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
