Ultra-thin Dell laptop will be based on Ivy Bridge?

Dell is once again considering the possibility of producing ultra-thin notebook performance model. The new model is likely to be presented at CES 2012, and shortly after the end of January and on sale. In this notebook will be constructed on the basis of a new generation of processors Intel Ivy Bridge, completed in 22-nm process technology. But these statements are mutually exclusive, since Intel is expected to begin mass production chipsets technology Ivy Bridge no earlier than March of next year. Perhaps, at CES, Dell will provide an early prototype and a commercial version will appear later. For this, Dell will be the second attempt to create competition to Apple in the ultraportable solutions. Previously reported series notebooks and Dell Adamo XPS Adamo 13 with the task failed. While on their side were record results for the thickness of the body and stylish design, but they were not popular, owing to extremely low battery life, which XPS model was only 2.5 hours. As a result, it was all over with numerous discounts in an attempt to sell the laptops and the cancellation of the project. Now the company will have to compete not only with Apple, but companies Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba, which also aims to obtain an analogue of MacBook Air, but also set the bar for prices less than $ 1,000. However, to achieve this combination of performance and value as long as none of them succeeded.
