Intel's Ultrabook - what do you think?

Follow Discussion Posted by leviathan on Mar 07, 2012

I have been thinking about getting an ultra-portable notebook lately, and my choices are either MacBook Air or one of the ASUS ultrabooks (13"). However, I just read that Intel is entering the Ultrabook business with a slim white 13" notebook.

Is this going to be an Intel branded notebook and how do you expect it to compare next to the other 'ultrabooks' currently available?

This is the Intel device I looked at: http://www.meetgadget.com/company/82/Intel/news/23324/Intel+Ivy+Bridge+touchscreen+Ultrabook+reference+design

And you think they will use i7-2770k in ultrabooks? Have a look at their mobile processors:

Not at all, but I do think the power savings & performance increase over the current offerings will be similar. It's all good, but I was hoping that 28nm to 22nm was going to give us a bigger change.
