Intel has specified and branded Ultrabook as a brand for a class of high-end subnotebook computers with reduced volume without compromising battery life. The Ultrabooks use low power Intel Core processors, solid state drives and a unibody chassis to help meet these criteria. Due to their limited size, Ultrabooks often omit common notebook features such as optical disk drives and Ethernet ports.
In 2012, Intel Capital Press Director Jordan Balk Schaer announced a new fund to support the first companies working on technologies in line with the company concept for next-generation notebooks. The company booked 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 notebook (less than 0.8 inches thick) that used Intel processors, and would emphasize portability and a longer battery life than other laptops. Marketing initiative and a $ 300 million associate, Intel was hoping to sway the collapsing PC market in the face of growing competition from smartphones and tablet computers, which are typically driven by ARM processors.
