Technology has greatly evolved over the centuries. Machines have been aiding man to ease their work, fight in wars, travel, health, and different aspects of life. Telling time, keeping up with friends, finding information, and many more have never been easier with the making of the computer. The computer has evolved over the decades becoming the need by many people. Students have used computers, laptops, and tablets to help them with their academics. Having such technology seems to be de rigueur in the past years. The Macbook Air and the Ultrabooks are one of the new laptops of 2013. The former was first introduced on January 15, 2008, while the latter was introduced on October 2011. From the design aspect, the Macbook Air stuck to its usual design with a silver aluminum case. The keyboards are chiclet styled, which uses keys in design of small squares. The click pad reacts smoothly to all swipes, taps and gestures. On the other hand, the Ultrabooks designs are quite similar to the Macbook Air with the keyboards and such; however the Ultrabooks trackpad isn't as susceptible as the Macbook's clickpad. The Ultrabook's screen is has a 1920 by 1080 resolution which is clearer than the 1440 by 900 the Macbook gives off. The Ultrabook’s touch screen laptops are up to date compared any mobile device now. The Ultrabook's operating system, which is the Windows 8 version one, comes with its advantages. The biggest advantage of Windows is that it provides ready-made solutions that can be implemented by just about anyone who's ever used a computer (Jennings). The change from Windows 7 to Windows 8 has a change to where the start screen shows programs in different sized tiles. The tiles will give the user an easier access to programs by givi... ... middle of paper ... ...ng which could slow down the processor. The Macbook genuinely has a great battery life, however if the user were to damage the battery it may not be easy to replace. Technology will keep advancing through the days. There are no other ways on ending technology, because man will always figure out ways to find the easy way out. Technology is change, but people don’t like change. The Macbook Air and the Ultrabook, both have many differences, but bring out the best for each other. Through speculations, it seems business men would go for the Ultrabook, since it has it’s multitask ability, and Microsoft offices which seems to benefit more on Windows 8, also its ability to read most office documents than the Macbook Air. The Macbook leans towards the artists, designers and CGI editors. Though, both would really matter on the person’s preferences, biases, and peer pressure.
