Intel launched the Ultrabook initiative in June 2011, investing $300 million. Ultrabooks are thin, light laptops that start at around $1000 each. They offer fast startup times, extended battery life, and security features like anti-theft protection. Early Ultrabook models like the Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga were praised for their designs but also faced criticism for having few ports and relying on mini connections. Overall, Ultrabooks were positioned as high-performance, secure laptops inspired by Intel technologies.
