Intel will subsidize producers "ultrabukov"
Now the notebook market is not booming. On the contrary it has been some difficulty with the fact that the attention of producers and consumers was drawn breath of a new tablet, which radically changed with the advent of iPad. At the same time the largest manufacturer of chipsets for laptops, the company is Intel, tablet devices on the market and there is not even in the future has no plans to move its focus from traditional PCs and laptops to tablet devices. That does not mean that it has no plans to create a suitable for this class of device processors and platforms. But now it is laptops are the dominant mobile devices, which form the basic package of orders for Intel. However, the idea to promote ultra-portable notebooks, built on CULV-platform actually was not supported. He was released several models, which have not been much in demand and obviously lost the contest appeared simultaneously tablet from Apple. For the repetition of this error in the near future, Intel plans to not only actively promote the concept of the recently introduced "ultrabukov," but also to subsidize companies that will produce laptops Platform Ultrabook. First on the market should go, "ultrabuk" from the company ASUS - UX21 model should be on the market in September. Thus, despite the hefty financial support from the project at Intel, the cost of such devices remains high. According to the manufacturers cost of the "ultrabukov" will reach $ 1,000, which makes them not very attractive. Currently, most of them just watch the reaction of consumers to exit ASUS UX21. Apparently it is from acceptance of this model and will determine the success of the project as a whole.
