2012 ultrabooks that are in the market or are in the pipeline – Part 1

The 2012 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas was all about ultrabooks and where Intel and Microsoft showcased the upcoming Ivy Bridge processors and Windows 8, respectively, every PC maker from around the world announced their slim notebooks that one way or the other are related to Intel or Microsoft’s new products.

The CES 2012 was an event mostly about the ultrabooks, there is no doubt about it. Most of these notebooks have either shored up in the consumer markets or are on their way to store shelves. However, many of them might not be rolled out until the second half of calendar 2012 starts as both Windows 8 and Ivy Bridge processors are planned to be released by that time.

However, the upcoming line of these ultrabooks, some of which have already been released, are worth a discussion. Windows 8 or not, these laptops—the ones that have been launched—are running a hot streak giving Macbook Air a tough fight in the consumer market. The specs are good the shapes are attractive.

Moreover, I will be discussing the cannibalization of the moniker Ultrabook because of some laptops that have larger footprint, killing light and ultra portability of category.

Following are some of the notebooks that either have been launched or are at the door to see the light of the day.
