Ultrabooks seem to attract a lot of attention for its metallic light design, stunning display, spacious storage capacity, wide range of choices, number of port options and many more. iYogi advises that there are several reasons why you may consider these Ultrabooks over Apple MacBook Air. These are:

Display
While Apple MacBook Air 2012 models are still limited to 1366 x 768 resolution and 1440 x 900 on 11-ich and 13-inch respectively, some Ultrabooks are found to outgun with full HD 1920x1080 pixel resolution. ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A and ASUS Zenbook Prime UX21A are two Ultrabooks that you may zero in on if you want a full HD alternative to Apple MacBook Air. Also, ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A will stun you with a more vivid IPS display with a 423 lux and appears brighter than a 285 lux of Apple MacBook Air.

Port options
Apple MacBook Air has two USB 3.0 ports, SD memory card slot and a Thunderbolt port that also serves as a DisplayPort out (on Apple MacBook Air 13-inch) with noticeable absence of Ethernet port, HDMI and VGA ports. We, at iYogi, have explored the segment of Ultrabooks that have more port options than Apple MacBook Air. Ultrabooks such as HP Folio have full-size HDMI port, Ethernet ports, USB 3.0 ports while Toshiba Portege Z835 and Z935 have VGA ports in addition to these ports on board. 

There are more reasons why iYogi recommends Ultrabooks over Apple MacBook Air. Apple MacBook Air is surely known for its impressive audio quality. But, integration if Beats Audio to HP Envy Spectre XT, Bang and Olufsen ICEPower speakers in ASUS Ultrabooks, and Waves Maxx audio in Dell XPS 13 output seamless, high-fidelity sound. Though some Ultrabooks are equally expensive as Apple MacBook Air such as Asus Zenbook Prime or Toshiba Portege Z830, but they are built with greater and more powerful specifications.
