what is the point of discrete graphics and 15" screen with 13" resolution? who actually uses an optical drive anymore? this is best buy bargain bin crap.

then look at the Gigabyte U2442 Ultrabook with 14-inch high-resolution 1600x900 pixels resolution displays Nvidia GeForce GT 640M GPU, with 2GB of video memory. most likely will cost more !

5 lb ultrbooks? They're working hard to destroy what little value was in that name. There are plenty of 15" laptops ~5.2 lbs, so this is not even special. I guess they're trying to trick the unsuspecting newbies.

I was just a little interested until I got to the midget resolution. My 11" Netbook has that res. Why put it on a 15" screen? Anyway, why does anyone bother producing 15" laptops anymore...they're just too big and bulky (even a slim, but heavy offering like this one). If you're at home you just plug your notebook into a monitor for high res. I don't understand how this can be called an ultrabook either. I think some strict guidelines of exactly what makes an ultrabook need to be formulated....quickly! 15inches and 5 pounds do not an ultrabook make.

Ultrabooks should be under 3.5 lbs and 0.60 inches.
