Confessions of a Design Snob

Up until recently I had no idea what an Ultrabook was or what it would do. To be honest I thought it was something that was just very slim, chic and stylish a bit like a supermodel.

Then Intel asked me if I would like to try one. Being always up for a challenge I said 'yes please' and promptly had an Asus Zenbook delivered to me.
OK a packing box is a packing box and I duly opened it on it's arrival and pulled out the most stylish box ever containing

the most stylish laptop ever, from now on I will refer to it not as a laptop but an Ultrabook. I was so impressed I took these photographs before I even activated it.

The accessories are so cool, look at that carrying envelope and matching accessories case. How could you not be impressed? Even the instruction book makes you not want to put it back in the box.

It is aluminium so no nasty finger marks all over it. I took my laptop off my desk and replaced it with my Ultrabook and instantly created more space not only that but it looked so elegant. It was like placing a piece of art it was so satisfying.

I am a designer and I blog about great design so I need to be seen to practise what I preach and armed with my new Ultrabook I am set to impress.

So this was the designer in me approving of the look and feel of the gift bestowed upon me. Intel have added the magic inside so my next installment will be about my love affair with my Ultrabook and how it has changed my working life. Watch this space.
