On May 31, 2011, Intel announced plans for a new ultra-thin and lightweight laptop model at Computex 2011. This is Intel's latest move to improve its competitiveness in the mobile computer market.
This " Ultrabook " device will have a "thin, light, beautiful " design, which is affordable for the high-end market, not just for high-end buyers. Intel hopes, by the end of 2012, new systems will account for 40% of its consumer notebook sales.
However, it will take time for these systems to grow. The first Ultrabook computers will be sold by PC makers during the shopping season later this year. Based on Intel's current Core processors, they won't be thicker than 20mm, priced below $ 1,000, Intel said.
The second Ultrabook will appear in the first half of next year, based on Intel's upcoming Ivy Bridge processors. The last installment was in 2013, based on the new Core processor design (codenamed Haswell). Haswell will halve Intel's power consumption compared to current laptops, Intel said, allowing for slimmer design, longer battery life.
In the afternoon of May 31, 2011, in a speech at Computex 2011, Mr. Sean Maloney - co-leader of Intel Architecture Group - introduced the concept of Ultrabook. On the stage also has the participation of Asus Chairman Jonney Shih. Shih introduced an Ultrabook called UX21 that Asus plans to sell later this year.
On stage at Computex 2011, Mr. Maloney also introduced 10 upcoming tablets, all based on Intel's new Atom Z670 'Oak Trail' processor. He also talked about Intel's new chip platform for netbooks, called Cedar Trail, that would allow machines to use it without using cooling fans with Intel Rapid Smart quick recovery technology.
Mr. Maloney first performed on Intel's Medfield processor running Google's Android 3.0 ' Honeycomb ' operating system. Medfield will be used for smartphones as well as tablets not thicker than 9mm, weighing less than 750g, Intel said.
