What is an Ultrabook?
 An Ultrabook is a very cool new class of laptop computers available from all major PC manufacturers. Windows users should no longer be jealous of the Apple MacBook Air! Ultrabooks come with speedy processors and lots of RAM to handle your business applications with ease.
Ultrabooks are sleek and lightweight. They are less than one inch think and weigh about three poinds. Battery life is great - around eight hours of regular use.
Those Ultrabooks that come with solid state hard drives start-up quickly. When you close the lid, they go to sleep. When you open the lid, they wake up in less than eight seconds.
Note that not all Ultrabooks come with CD-DVD drives.
Are you tired of lugging around an old, slow, heavy laptop? Check out an Ultrabook!

TIP: Darik's Boot and Nuke Annihilates Data
Before giving or donating a computer to another individual or organization, it's a good practice to erase data from the hard drive.
Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN), a free utility available in Apple or Windows versions from dban.org, does the job easily and reliably.
Essentially DBAN overwrites the hard drive several times so data is completely scrambled. At the end of the process, even sophisticated forensic software analyses will not find readable information.
This underscores the need to be absolutely certain the data is no longer of any value prior to using DBAN or backing up the drive as a first step.
If you are taking your old computer to the recycling center, there is no better way to clear data forever than physically destroying the hard drive it's on; that is, pulling the unit out and giving it a half dozen whacks with a hammer or, better yet, a maul. |
