asus ul30vt: Intel really, really wants ultrabooks to cost less than $1000

24.05.09This summer Intel unveiled a podium for a new type of portable computer that would combine some of the best elements of a netbook with those of a full sized desktop-replacement laptop . The so-called “ ultrabooks ” would have select sizes between 11 and 13 inches, use the latest low power Intel chips (but not the uber-low power Atom processors), and action less than an inch thick. While the chip maker doesn’t imagine ultrabooks selling for under $300 the way many netbooks do today, the performers wants the thin and light laptops to be affordable, with appraisal tags under $1000. Computer makers have been releasing thin, gleam, and powerful laptops for well over a decade: and they usually tariff an awful lot of money. While netbooks cut corners by using low-price components, a high quality ultraportable typically costs an arm and a leg because they’ve relied on priceless components.
