Maybe if Intel charged less for their processors, the OEMs could reach the price easier. The more time they waste waiting for AMD to release Trinity, the more trouble they will be in the mobile and ultra mobile markets. Also I am surprised that neither amd or intel have tried an ARM processor for this segment yet.

Why? Rotate the screen, and it's a tablet, albeit a bit thick.

well if microsoft make integration between all these new microsoft easy/fast, then it would impact the market heavy

Knowledge is power, and you are weak.

Intel sells mobile "performance mainstream" chips for average of $120-130, because manufacturers buy millions rather than thousands and get heavy discounts. Apple ships 3 SKUs on the Macbook Airs yet ship 2-3 million. The 6 or so major PC manufacturers are probably playing so conservative with Ultrabook versions of their own, that they are paying near full list price.

No wonder there were rumors PC manufacturers having hard time pricing against the Macbook Air.

Aren't they using it in "laptop mode" though? I mean if you can remove the screen, sure, but then it's not an ultrabook...point was, touchscreen + normal laptop= what's the point?
Maybe finger drawing or something. idk, will have to see when it arrives.

fify
 
Not too interested in a touch version of windows 8. I'm more excited to see a gesture based one, maybe something that uses a much smaller version of the kinect. Touch is great, but not in a laptop.
 
An ultrabook with touchscreen control can be a viable alternative to the Macbook Air. I know a person with a touchscreen Thinkpad and it seems very useful to have two forms of input complement each other.
 
[citation][nom]Parsian[/nom]i so wished they also tried to make wacom screen cheaper[/citation]

wacom holds the pattents, they chose the price. if there was any real alternative, i would have one.
