Between this and the new HP... I guess if you can't beat em, join em.
Today I had a hands on with the HP and ACER ultrabooks. Garbage build quality. Absolute garbage.
Why can't these companies make anything better than junk?
OEMs suck.
The build quality is always garbage on PC laptops. There are only a few companies that used to do it right to begin with: IBM T-Series and Sony, and the panasonic toughbook line.
Next purchase might have to be a mac =(
To bad prices of Ultrabooks are close to the same of Macbooks and similar specs.
