That's a desktop replacement laptop, not an ultrabook. They're on the polar opposite ends of the portable computer spectrum.
Ah ok, I thought an ultrabook was just another brand or model for laptops.
I did some searching around, and from what I've seen they don't make them with more than 8gb of ram yet.

Nope. They're nice little computers, but hardly what I'd call game machines. Any ultrabook you buy now will be outdated on the games front pretty damn quick. It'll be middling to decent up until the PS4 and next Xbox come out, then from that point on will be struggling to keep up even while running everything at the bare minimum.
Really, if you want a laptop to play games on, an ultrabook is about the last thing you should be spending money on. Specially since you can get a good gaming laptop for about the same price.

I was talking about entertainment laptops and notebooks, not gaming laptops

... because "entertainment" and "gaming" are two different things. Jesus, guys, are you all so blind you cannot see that!

Bioshock Infinite is the newest gaming using UE3. It has nice art direction, but the engine is starting to show its age, so I don't think the low end requirements are all that high, even though it still manages to tax high end cards with all the eye candy turned up.
Of course Thief will be a next gen title so they might take full advantage of things like expanded memory, which might prove a problem for low end cards. In any case a GeForce 620M is no gaming card by any stretch, and neither is an Ultrabook a gaming laptop. Gaming gpus start at around 640M. Below that, I wouldn't hold my hopes up for anything better than 1366x768 and minimum settings. Maybe that's around console quality if you hook it up to a HDTV. IMO if you're playing 720p+minimum settings on a crappy 13-15" ultrabook screen you're robbing yourself of a proper gaming experience. It's like watching an action movie with a smartphone.

It just cracks me up that they cant use Russell because of whatever crap that was about lip movement not syncing up, and yet we see "Garrett" wearing a mask all the time. LOL

Garrett's expression in the pic: "I smolder with generic rage."
