In Pictures: The best new Ultrabooks

A wave of Ultrabooks -- light, thin laptops that have more capabilities and fewer compromises than ever -- is hitting the market. Here's a look at some of the current crop

Dell XPS 14

The XPS 14 excels at multimedia, has great battery life, and performs decently, but it’s heavy and a bit pricey ($1500). It boasts an exceptionally bright, high-res (1600-by-900-pixel) widescreen display (covered by bonded Corning Gorilla Glass) and a discrete graphics chip for games and video. The keyboard and touchpad are both satisfactory. On the whole, its weight makes this model more suited to occasional travelers than to frequent fliers.
