To start the TT is aimed at the ultra portable notebook market weighing just 1.32kg with a 11.1” screen.

The Ultra Light notebook has been around for quite a few years now with notebooks like the Sony VAIO TT series (link) at the top end with price tags of up to (and beyond) £2,000. However many people may want a more affordable Ultra Light (under 2kg) notebook and for that I would suggest the 12.1” Ultra Mobile Laptop from pcspecialist.co.uk.
