Ultrabooks™ are a class of sleek, ultra portable laptops that don’t compromise on performance. According to Intel®, who sets the qualifying criteria, Ultrabooks must feature Ultra-Low Voltage Intel CPUs, be 21mm thick or less and boast a battery life of up to five hours. They also require USB 3.0 for fast data transfer and an SSD for fast boot or waking from sleep.
While mainstream Ultrabooks are common, workstation Ultrabooks are rare. But this is changing. HP is leading the charge with the HP ZBook 15u and HP ZBook 14 G2, which both deliver the quality and performance expected of a CAD-capable mobile workstation but in an exceedingly portable, power efficient form factor.
