We are starting this list of the best Ultrabooks in Nepal with the 2022 edition of the ZenBook S 13 OLED. Weighting around 1kg, Asus calls it the world’s lightest 13.3-inch laptop. It is quite slim, too, measuring just 14.9mm. Still, this laptop comes with US military-grate MIL-STD-810H certification.

It is a 10-bit IPS panel with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and VESA HDR True Black 500 certification. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass NBT, and Asus Pen 2.0 is included in the box itself.

6. Lenovo Yoga 7 16 (2022)

Number 5 on our list of best Ultrabooks in Nepal is the Lenovo Yoga 7. This laptop measures 19.2mm in thickness and weighs around 2.16 kg, which is okay given it comes with a humongous 16-inch screen. It is a 2.5K glossy IPS panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This laptop has 100% sRGB coverage and Dolby Vision.

Pair that with the 4-speaker stereo setup with Dolby Atmos and we have a good multimedia laptop. Moreover, since it’s a 2-in-1 convertible, you can use it as a tablet with the Active Pen included in the box.

Inside, this laptop packs Intel’s Core-i7-12700H CPU paired with Intel’s own Arc A370M GPU. You get 16GB soldered LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Other notable features include a 1080p camera with an IR sensor and privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity.

5. Dell XPS 13 9315 (2022)

At number five we have the 2022 Edition of the Dell XPS 13 (9315). It was introduced as a cheaper alternative to the XPS 13 Plus and can be the perfect choice for people looking for an Ultrabook from a reputed brand. The XPS 13 series has built a reputation for being among the best ultrabooks out there and the 9315 carries on the legacy. It has a classic yet minimal design and sports a sturdy chassis carved out of a single aluminum. It brings a 13.4” FHD LCD with a 16:10 aspect ratio.

The next entry in our list of best Ultrabooks in Nepal is the Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED. It sports a 14″ 2.8K OLED panel with 90Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. In addition, it’s a 10-bit display with a peak HDR brightness of 600 nits. It doesn’t compromise on power, either. Here, you get a CPU-GPU combo of AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX 3050.

If you are into content creation, you would be happy to know that it has a virtual DialPad with a shortcut for a handful of Adobe apps. That said, VivoBook Pro 14 OLED misses out on Thunderbolt support because of the AMD CPU.

3. Apple MacBook Air (M1)

Apple took the laptop market by storm with the launch of the M1-powered MacBook Air in 2020. Even after two years after its launch, this one remains an easy recommendation in its price range.

With the in-house developed chip, MacBook Air offers great performance, battery life, and light video editing capabilities. On top, it has battery life unmatched by any of its Windows counterparts.

The M1 chip is optimized for everyday use and thus, you can go about doing practically anything on this laptop. This one does not have an active cooling system like the Pro variant. However, you probably won’t be needing it until you do some extremely heavy-duty task. MacBook Air offers stereo speakers and a three-mic array which is pretty good—but not so much as the Pro model.

2. Apple MacBook Pro (M1/M2)

On the second spot, we have the MacBook Pro from Apple. Currently, you can buy both the M1 and M2 versions of the MacBook Pro in Nepal. The M1-powered MacBook Pro is quite similar to the M1-powered MacBook Air discussed above, except it comes with a slightly brighter display and an active cooling setup. The presence of a fan-cooled setup means it can sustain maximum performance for longer.

The successor to the MacBook Pro (M1) brings nothing new except for the new M2 chip. So, deciding between the two really depends upon if you need that extra performance or not.

1. Apple MacBook Air M2 (2022)

Taking the number one spot in our list of best Ultrabooks in Nepal is the Apple MacBook Air (M2). This one comes with the second-gen Apple Silicone chip. The new M2 is based on an improved 5nm process and brings an 18% faster CPU and a 35% faster CPU.

Apart from the SoC, Apple MacBook Air has an overhauled design. It skips the traditional wedge-shaped design in favor of a more Pro-like look. It’s both thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

Moreover, Apple Macbook Air M2 (2022) now has a Liquid Retina display with an iPhone-like. It brings 1 billion colors and can get as bright as 500 nits. Other quality-of-life improvements on the new MacBook Air include a 1080p FaceTime camera, quad-speaker setup, and the return of MagSafe charging.
