Upcoming Ultrabook releases?

MikkoP

I know many manufacturers released a lot of laptops (especially Ultrabooks) on CES a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if there is going to be a big event this year (autumn?) where there would be released more Ultrabooks.

I need a new laptop in the autumn but I'm not sure if I should buy it now because then it's already half a year old..

Well, Intel are releasing Haswell for ultrabooks on Computex this June How this will affect the current price, I don't know, but I can imagine the price dropping significantly. So, if you don't need it now, then don't buy it now.

I agree. I'd wait for Haswell. The reductions in power consumption are supposed to be huge. I remember when ultrabooks first came out, they had really impressive battery life but that has since been diluted with later models. I'm happy I got a first gen Zenbook. My notebook basically lasts forever off of the charger.

Yep. Just wondering how long it takes to get some Ultrabooks to the market.
