Vizio ultrabook

Part of a new class of Ultrabook devices inspired by Intel, the VIZIO Thin + Light is an ultra-responsive, ultra-sleek and long-lasting portable PC. This powerful machine boots up in seconds and packs enough battery to stay up and running all day.

With a 14-inch HD+ or 15.6-inch Full HD display and a razor-thin design made possible by a durable, anodized aluminum unibody construction, the VIZIO Thin + Light is sleek enough to take anywhere and easily outperforms notebooks twice its size.

Entertainment enthusiasts will appreciate the HD resolution, stellar picture quality with wider viewing angles and SRS Premium Sound HD™ of the Thin + Light, allowing users to enjoy their content on-the-go or tap into the full-size HDMI® outputs to put entertainment on the big screen.

Fujitsu trots out U772/E Ultrabook

Looks nice and all, but price seems ridiculous. This Fujitsu U772/E makes Sony Z2 look like it's not a big deal, price-wise. I would consider it if it was in $1200-1500 range where premium ultrabooks belong. Fujitsu's notebooks are really among the most expensive; Sony's pricing is a bit like Apple's. Fujitsu's a different paradigm entirely. At least with Apple or Sony, you can say it's the design premium; Fujitsu's stuff doesn't even look that good and yet they're priced comparably. 

I invited some Fujitsu reps to my office once and was shocked at the prices they had for enterprise notebooks. They were around 40% more expensive (at least) than the solutions from Dell and HP. The rep claimed it was because they were assembled in Japan, unlike other notebooks that are put together in China. 

Of course, I can't verify that claim but from that perspective, the premium pricing makes sense since labor costs in Japan are much higher; there's a perception that stuff Made in Japan is of much higher quality than things Made in China.
