    You do know that you can't upgrade the memory in the Sammy? (it's soldered)

    Thanks Torqay, I did'nt realise there was such a difference in processors, that core i7 is in a different league to the i5. The RAM being soldered is putting me off. I might wait and see what the reviews of the Ultra Note are like, its alot heavier than the samsung, then again I won't be carrying it :)

    I know, the Sammy is gorgeous and it's a lot about looks with the girls. But if I was to spend 1,000 yoyos on a notebook, I much prefer bang for buck and the UltraNote isn't exactly clumsy, does have a DVD writer and there's something to be said a for a 3 yr warranty... I suppose I'm more the practical type. ;)

    There's another thread running, PC World/Currys seem to have some good Ultrabook deals going at the moment.
