What will the ultrabooks in a year? And yes, I mean the beginning of 2014. For Intel knows how and has allowed a look at the models in their first hours at CES.
The new laptop , which carries the code name North Cape, is not a real product yet, but Intel created a team to demonstrate its new generation of Intel Core processors, the Haswell, corresponding to the fourth generation. These CPUs will be released around mid-2013.
The laptop shown is intended to be very similar to model future, even in size and weight. Most striking is that the screen is 13.3 inch long. Exactly resized. How is it possible? Because it is a convertible laptop (tablet hybrid) whose screen is scaled to a size of 11 inches with only pressing a button.
One of the main advantages of Intel's laptop shows us that we will use next year against Ivy Bridge models is an extended battery life that will be very noticeable. The notebook presented, as said, would have a total duration of about 13 hours since it incorporates batteries on the screen and on the keyboard.
We hope that in the coming days will give more insight into the technology of the North Cape.
