For Mothers Day, I decided to purchase a new laptop for my wife to replace her aging HP laptop running Windows Vista. So, I ticked up sales of both Windows and a standard laptop by 1.
Went with a Samsung Series 7 Ultrabook. Specs are about the same as the Surface Pro. As was the cost. The 13.3" 1920x1080 screen is nice. The 128GB SSD will be sufficient as she doesn't store much of anything on her laptop. We have a file server for our files and she doesn't play anything but online games and doesn't run much software at all.
One thing I liked in particular on this particular Ultrabook is the fact that the back is easily removable and the RAM and the mSATA SSD are upgradeable. And the battery can be changed once the back is off too.
