Lenovo’s Rory Read (soon AMD VP) says that the new Ultrabook will sport a price for the major mainstream market, unlike previous models that was in the more expensive premium segment. Endpoint Technologies also says that the Ultrabook and tablet falls into the same cateogy, which was the very idea from Intel.
“”The Ultrabook, like the tablet, is a legitimate member of the high-mobility class of devices /…/ So, it’s a very portable device that comes in a very useful form factor, ” says Roger Kay at Endpoint Technologies.
Besides from having an Ultrabook coming, Lenovo has a tablet on the way. It is the 7″ IdeaPad A1 that is different from the earelir Lenovo models we might have mentioned. When these will arrive is not certain, but it looks like we will see them in Q4.
