During IDF 2012 event in Beijing (China), Intel introduced a tablet "hybrid" ultrabook running Ivy Bridge chip called Cove Point. The cost of producing this trial model is up to 1,000 USD.

Intel products include a 12.5-inch sliding touch screen. If you want to use the keyboard, users just need to slide the screen upwards. This model has two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI output. Intel has not yet announced when to apply Cove Point design to new products. However, the high cost of producing 1,000 USD will make this model's price significantly increase, making it difficult for manufacturers to access.
