    Where are all the ultrabook reviews?

    Every major website has one, two, or a small handful of ultrabook reviews. I was looking for the best high end one out there for 1500ish but I can't seem to narrow it down since there aren't reviews for each one. A big part of my decision is based on build quality and finish like the Mac air...

    I've gotten pretty far with open office but I definitely need Excel 2010. I'm a student but Office costs 80 bucks at the store :( There are a lot of packages on ebay but I can't tell if they're trustworthy or "upgrades."
