Long Battery Life
There is actually something which I did not mention in my edit. "Long" battery life is actually an opinion and not a fact, because to some people 5-8 hours might be short; they could be looking for whole day battery life. 175.156.215.110 (talk) 00:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Also, these seem to be idle values, under full load even on ultrabooks the battery life can be less than ztwo hours. And you are right, that "5 hours is a long battery life" is an opinion, a whole day (24 hours) is more than any notebook can do, but some of them last for more than 12 hours idle. --MrBurns (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- I agree, maybe we can add something like Actual performance may vary considerably based on usage. Zalunardo8 (talk) 10:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Removal of dubious comment regarding superiority of MacBook
There are two statements in this sentence in the History section I think should be removed:
It appeared that many OEMs were unable to offer an Ultrabook at a comparable spec and price to the MacBook Air,[22] and while some Ultrabooks were able to claim individual distinctions such as being the lightest or thinnest, the Air was still regarded by many reviewers as the best all-around Ultrabook.
Firstly, the first statement and reference are not related. The reference says the price of ultrabooks was too high for them to sell well, it does NOT mention a price/spec comparison to the MacBook Air. The price/spec of ultrabooks at the time may even have been better than the Macbook's (just not good enough).
Secondly, the second statement:"[...] regarded by many viewers as the best [...]" has no reference at all and seems a bit fanboy-ish to me.
Lastly, the source of statement 1 refers to research by iSuppli but does not give a title or date, nor does the link work. Further, the source author is a stockholder of AAPl. 217.122.183.107 (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Five sections called "Chief River"
The section repeats itself (without repeating the header) 5 times. N0w8st8s (talk) 11:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)n0w8st8s
