Ultrabook
Ultrabook is a specification and brand developed by Intel for a class of high-end subnotebooks which are designed to feature reduced bulk without compromising performance and battery life. They use low-power Intel Core processors, solid-state drives, and unibody chassis to help meet these criteria.[1] Due to their limited size, they typically omit common laptop features such as optical disc drives and Ethernet ports.[2]

History[edit]
In 2012, Intel Capital announced a new fund to support startups working on technologies in line with the company's concept for next generation notebooks.[3] The company set aside a $300 million fund to be spent over the next three to four years in areas related to Ultrabooks.[3] Intel announced the Ultrabook concept at Computex in 2011. The Ultrabook would be a thin (less than 0.8 inches thick[4]) notebook that utilized Intel processors[4] and could also incorporate tablet features such as a touch screen and long battery life.[3][4]
By this marketing initiative and an associated $300 million fund, Intel hoped to influence the slumping PC market against rising competition from smartphones[5] and tablet computers,[6] which are typically powered by competing ARM-based processors.[7]
The Ultrabook directly competes against other subnotebooks, including Apple’s MacBook Air, which has similar form specifications and is powered by Intel CPUs, but runs both Windows and Mac OS X.[8][9][10]
At the Intel Developer Forum in 2011, four Taiwan ODMs showed prototype Ultrabooks that used Intel's Ivy Bridge chips.[11] Intel plans to reduce power consumption of its chips for Ultrabooks, like Ivy Bridge processors, which will feature 17W default thermal design power.[12]
At a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show, an Intel manager stated that market analysis revealed that screen size motivated some of the reluctance to switch to 13" Ultrabooks. As a result, Intel planned to ensure, through cooperation with manufacturers, a 14 or 15-inch screen on 50% of the 75 Ultrabook models that would likely come to market in 2012.[13][14]
IHS iSuppli had originally forecast that 22 million Ultrabooks would be shipped by the end of 2012, and 61 million would be shipped in 2013. By October 2012, IHS had revised its projections down significantly, to 10 million units sold in 2012 and 44 million for 2013.[15] With most Ultrabooks selling at $1000 USD instead of the more mainstream $600 USD (as of 2012), they were too expensive to be widely adopted. They are also significantly more expensive than the earlier popular low cost netbooks. There was also increased competition for laptops as a whole (including Ultrabooks) from smartphones and tablet computers.
Intel has banked on the release of Windows 8 as well as new form factors (convertible form factors with rotating or detachable screens, dubbed by some commentators as "mutants"[16]) and features (accelerometers and gyroscopes for touchscreens, hand-gesture recognition) to build demand for Ultrabooks.[17]
Specifications[edit]
Intel requires manufacturers to meet certain specifications in order to market a laptop as an Ultrabook.[18] These requirements change with each release of Intel's mobile platform.
