1. ASUS Zenbook UX31

Leading the charge for Intel’s Ultrabook obsession with a super-slim laptop, the UX31 is 9mm at its thickest point and 3mm at its thinnest. Shut the lid and it’s still only 17mm. If the MacBook Air isn’t worried, it should be. Under the slender exterior is an i7 processor with 4GB of RAM and Bang & Olufsen ICEPower speakers will take care audio. If you have boot up times, the UX31 will resume from sleep in just two seconds.

What is an ultrabook? Which are the best ultrabooks to buy in 2012? T3 takes a look at the new generation of laptops set to be big news in 2012...

Steve Jobs got many things right, and his pronouncement this year of the dawn of the “post-PC world” had the ring of truth. The iPad and its Android tablet rivals have badly dented PC sales, which were down 15 per cent in the UK in 2011, according to Gartner’s analysts. However, a new breed of laptops is fighting back, taking a soupçon of inspiration from… an Apple product.
