Are you torn between buying a laptop or tablet? Actually, you can have the best of both worlds by purchasing a hybrid device. But what is the best Ultrabook in the market today? Here is a comparison between ASUS Transformer Book T300 vs Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro, to help you choose the best Ultrabook.

The term Ultrabook is a trademark marketing term from Intel. This term started as a marketing move that pertains to thin laptops that usually come in more expensive than the majority of mid-range laptops in the market. Ultrabooks are designed to turn laptops to be a bit more convenient while equally powerful to be able to perform the usual laptop tasks.

These devices specify laptops with specifications that separate them from ultraportable laptops. They usually have an Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7, USB 3.0 and a fast SSD storage. Needless to say, the main goal of the Ultrabook concept is to offer a laptop with long battery life and portability of a tablet without sacrificing the desktop software and the keyboard you need for your productivity tasks.
