I had the pleasure last week to attend an Intel sponsored event about the Ultrabook category. At that event I saw presentations from Intel, Asus and Lenovo. Although I didn’t see presentations from all the Ultrabook manufacturers, I can say there is an easy winner thus far in 2012. If you ask me what is [...]

A report today from Digitimes suggests that ultrabooks will see a price drop in the coming months. This is typical of the laptop release cycle when a new processor is coming. Clear out the old making way for the new. With a 20 to 30% price drop, expect to see a lot of sold out [...]

I’m an avid laptop consumer. I watch trends, I watch the laptop stock market as it were. Clearly in 2012 it will be the year of the ultrabook. Just look at CES 2012 and the models showcased there. In the big picture though, I don’t see good things for the future of ultrabook laptops. It [...]

We couldn’t decide whether to put a question mark at the end of the heading. It appears, based on some sloppy webmastering skills on the Asus Ultrabook event page, that in fact the Asus Zenbook will be the Ultrabook line-up from Asus. Makes sense.
