<p>This was one of the very first Ultrabooks to reach the market, and I bought one shortly after it became available. The Series 9 did a good job of matching the portability and sleek design of a MacBook Air without ever feeling like a clone. Its illuminated keyboard was a key selling feature.</p><p>It originally shipped with Windows 7, and it upgraded easily to Windows 8. Eventually I found drivers that allowed the trackpad to work with Windows 8 edge gestures, which made it much more usable.</p><p>My biggest gripe with this model is the same one I have with many early Ultrabooks. The 1366x768 screen resolution is just not enough to get serious work done. After a year of faithful service, this PC was replaced with an even lighter touchscreen Ultrabook.</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/windows-8-after-a-year-21-hardware-hits-and-misses-7000021180/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-tip-open-ie-tabs-other-pcs">Windows 8.1 Tip: Open IE Tabs from Other PCs</a> (Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dTQM-5fTecu71VMNInxJEKkKfSufM&ned=us">3 additional articles.</a></p>
