Tom’s Hardware’s 2015 Wish List

Big Ultrabooks

These days, I regularly use two laptops a: dinosaur of a 17-inch Sony Vaio, and a sleek 13-inch Macbook Air. While I appreciate the screen size and FHD resolution of the Sony, using a PC trackpad (any PC trackpad) is simply an exercise in frustration (as is using Windows 8), and the battery life of this discrete graphics-wielding beast is also pretty darn atrocious. Meanwhile, the Macbook Air is nearly perfect, just too damn small, with an unacceptably low sub-1080p resolution and no numpad. When I’m on-the-go, the Macbook is always my companion because of its slim design, but as soon as I hit a proper desk with an available power outlet, I’m breaking out the Vaio and my trusty Logitech M570. Ultrabooks were first introduced back in 2009, that was five years ago! So, where are the 17-inch models, heck, where are the 15-inch models? - Adam Overa
