That's because they're talking about Ultrabooks, capital "U", a spec for PC laptops (and an Intel trademarked name).
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI went back and re-read it, they do consider the Macbook Air to be an exemplar of what an Ultrabook should be. See this quote: "We laughed again and pointed out that it wasn’t a Macbook Air, but it did cost more, did less, and still wasn’t a Macbook." This is the story as I understand it: Intel wants other people to make a Macbook Air functional clone but also want their "traditional" huge chunk of the COGS. In the classic sense they have priced themselves out of the market.
