  • Best Ultrabooks 2012: A guide to the latest laptop uprising

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.

Dell XPS 13

Dell has released slimline laptops in the past, but this is its first foray into the wildly competitive ultrabook market. The Dell XPS 13 is a real jawdropper on the outside, with a beautiful aluminium chassis and size-zero profile. Thing are just as pleasing on the inside with the quad-core Intel Core i7-2637M CPU able to handle all but the most intensive of tasks.

Price: £TBC (expected to be sub-£1000), Launch TBC
