Why Is Your Computer So Slow? It's Not an Ultrabook™

You Live in a Fast World

Not that long ago, the world was different…and much slower than it is today. But that was then.

You care about now and what you can do with it. This is your moment. And with an Intel-inspired Ultrabook™, you can live this moment for all it’s worth.

Ultrabook is ready when you are.

Instant. It’s Just How You Roll

These days, instant is what you’re used to. And what you crave more of—especially when you’re talking about enjoying movies, music, games, discovering cool new things, and staying close to the people who matter most to you. Oh yes, faster is most definitely better in so many ways—and the Ultrabook totally gets that. 

Ultrabook™ weighs less than 4 pounds

The Instant Gratifier

The ultra sleek, ultra responsive Intel-inspired Ultrabook™ is right there on the leading edge of instant gratification. But it didn’t get that way by accident. With its sleek portability, light weight, and super thin profile, you could say the Ultrabook was made especially for you and the mile-a-minute life you lead—because actually, it was.

Ultrabook™ wakes from hibernate in less than 7 seconds.

Ready When You Are

Hate waiting around while your computer fires up? Us too. The Ultrabook makes slow startup a thing of the past, letting you connect with your friends in a flash, waking from hibernate in less than seven seconds thanks to Intel® Rapid Start Technology1, standard on every Ultrabook.

Intel® Smart Connect Technology keeps you connected to your social networks.

You’re Always Connected

You hate being disconnected from your social universe, and with Ultrabook, that doesn’t happen. You get instant access to your social life, and everything stays fresh with continuous updates to your social networks, email, news feeds, and favorite apps—even when your machine is asleep. The Intel® Smart Connect Technology2 built into every Ultrabook keeps you on top of all the latest.
