INTRODUCTION
An Ultra book is a higher-end type of subnotebook defined by Intel. Ultra book are a category of small, lightweight, legacy-free, and inexpensive laptop computers.Intel has registered the name as a trademark. Ultra books are designed to feature reduced bulk without compromising performance and battery life. They use low-power Intel Core processors, solid-state drives, and unibody chassis to help meet these criteria. Due to their limited size, they typically omit common laptop features such as optical disc drives and Ethernet ports.
Ultra books are a new category of notebook computers that seeks to fill the gap between lightweight laptops and tablets. Intel dubbed the ultra book category when it announced it would be directing its mobile computing efforts towards a new class of laptops that would offer an extremely thin (less than 20 millimeters, or 0.8 inches) and lightweight profile to go along with high-powered, low voltage processors in the Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge families, long battery life, near instant-on and instant-resume capabilities, and fast storage, typically via solid state disk drives (SSDs), all in a sub $1,000 package.
Ultra books are distinguished from ultra book by offering more power in the form of faster processors and additional RAM, as well as better storage and larger screen sizes, features that also make these laptops significantly more expensive than most ultra books. Ultra book prices are expected to come down, though, as Intel transitions to its "Hawell" system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors, at which point Intel predicts ultra book prices will reach the sub $600 price range.
Ultra book with touch¹ display delivers stunning graphics and offers you the ultimate in precision and control.

HISTORY
In 2012, Intel Capital announced a new fund to support startups working on technologies in line with the company's concept for next generation note books. The company set aside a $300 million fund to be spent over the next three to four years in areas related to Ultra books. Intel announced the Ultra book concept at Computex in 2011. The Ultra book would be a thin (less than 0.8 inches thick) notebook that utilized Intel processors and could also incorporate tablet features such as a touch screen and long battery life.
Dynamically increasing performance
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0).The maximum frequency of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 state depends on the workload and operating environment.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ULTRABOOKS AND NETBOOKS:
If the last time you purchased a computer was in 2007, you'll find that the landscape has changed drastically in terms of what's available to you. Where laptops were once reserved for businessmen and students, they're now a must-have in most American households. If you're in the market for something new, you might be overwhelmed by not only the choices, but the new terms that you're faced with at the computer store. By nailing down the differences between devices like ultrabooks and netbooks, you can be more confident as you look for the type of computer that is perfect for you and your needs.
