It's ZaReason's , which has been widely billed as the first Linux ultrabook to hit the market.

"It's one of my pet peeves that the world's most robust, high-end software is so often housed in low-end, unappealing machines or, worse, tweaked to work on machines that were built for Windows," ZaReason CEO Cathy Malmrose told me by way of introducing the new device. "Nothing wrong with Windows, just that building for FOSS and building for Windows is very different on the OEM end.

"Our goal is to build hardware that more aptly matches the high-end aspects of FOSS," Malmrose added. "With the UltraLap I think our R&D nailed it." Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Regular readers may remember ZaReason's high-end , which I covered earlier this year.

Now, its UltraLap 430 offers an array of compelling features including Intel HD 4000 graphics, third-generation Ivy Bridge technology, and fast boot-up times thanks to Intel Rapid Start Technology.
