Some of the software folks at Intel sent me an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook to look at. It will never be production hardware - this laptop will never be made or sold. That doesn't mean it's exclusive or special or extra fancy, instead, it's meant to be a reference example for hardware makers to make Ultrabooks of their own.
I did an unboxing and initial impressions video which I've embedded here.
Now that I've been using this Ultrabook for a while, these are my updated impressions. I've separated them into categories to make sure that we all keep things straight.
