Some IT journalists and industry analysts are predicting
that 2012 will be the year of the ultrabook. You know, those anorexic laptops that are less than 0.8-inch thick and weigh less than 1.4kg, come with no optical drive,
have ditched the hard disk for a solid-state drive, powered by a Core i5 or i7
processor, have a battery life of about 5–8 hours, and are priced around $1,000
(about Php 43,000).

At least, that is how Intel defines an ultrabook. By the
way, if you want to use the term "ultrabook," you might save yourself
some future, highly probable legal headache by getting in touch with Intel,
which owns the copyright to that term.
