It's fair to say that Windows laptops have had mixed success when it comes to looks.

Enter the Ultrabook you see above. Engineered by ASUS, it's called the UX31 Ultrabook, and it's one of the most Mac-like Windows laptops we've seen for a while. The machine is 3mm to 17mm thin, runs Core i7, and ASUS claims a 7 hour battery life. Price and release date is TBA.

Photos: See ASUS' stunning MacBook Air rival up close - the UX31 Ultrabook

What you're looking at is one of the very first Ultrabooks in the world. ASUS invited us to take a look at this machine at their Sydney office this week. Called the UX31, it has an aluminium chassis and a really minimalist look. It's 17mm thin, and runs Core i7. Comparisons with the MacBook Air are obvious. If you don't want a MacBook, and you've found other machines too ugly, this will be a really interesting laptop to look out for. [Words: William Maher]
