Engadget's back to school guide 2013: ultraportables

Ultrabooks hit the mainstream in 2012; in 2013, they’re claiming the high end. Intel’s Haswell-based processors are giving thin laptops the extreme resolutions, all-day battery life and touchscreens we wish we’d had in full-size portables a year ago. They might just be the perfect fit for students who want high-end features without the typical high-end bulk. Accordingly, our 2013 back to school guide rounds up the more advanced Ultrabooks alongside more affordable, extra-thin PCs. No matter your budget, these ultraportables are bound to lighten your backpack.
