ultrabookid

Ultrabookid is an informal label used in some technology discussions to describe a subset of ultrabooks—thin-and-light laptops that emphasize a blend of portability, battery life, and performance. It is not an official standard or certification, and usage of the term varies by source.

Typical characteristics associated with ultrabookid devices include a lightweight aluminum or magnesium alloy chassis, compact form factor, solid-state storage, and energy-efficient processors. Real-world implementations often target all-day battery life, rapid wake from sleep, quiet cooling, and modern input/output options such as USB-C with Thunderbolt or high-speed PCIe storage. The design emphasis is on balancing weight, thickness, thermals, display quality, and price.

Relationship to other categories: Ultrabookid is conceptually close to the broader idea of an ultrabook or premium thin-and-light laptop, but there is no official endorsement or unified set of criteria. The term appears mainly in online reviews and community discussions, and its criteria can vary between sources. As a result, devices labeled ultrabookid may not consistently meet a single, standardized set of requirements across manufacturers.
