Intel Helping out Small companies to Supply Branded Ultrabooks
As part of making the new skinny laptop category a success, Intel is helping out smaller PC making companies to build and to supply branded ultrabooks. For this event to be a success, Intel will be holding a meeting on Wednesday in Taipei as a "matchmaker" between large device manufacturers like Foxconn, Pegatron, Compal, and Quanta and smaller brands.
In the marketing business this may seem to be a competition, or in a way another business. Often larger companies like Web Listings Inc does this with smaller ones, in order to go branded with their items. The list of prospective ultrabook brands include companies like Epson, Onkyo, Viewsonic, Mustek, Motion Computing, WiPro, and Positivo.
Since, smaller brands don't necessarily have the wherewithal to build ultrabooks, they are made targetted. While then, the biggest brands, like Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer, Asus, and Toshiba, are already supplying or readying ultrabooks, are not the focus in this case. These larger companies are now into preparing for the next phase of ultrabooks based on Intel's Ivy Bridge chip.
Intel has become intimately involved in ultrabooks on many levels. It has already established a $300 million Ultrabook Fund for the development of features critical to the laptops such as battery, storage, touch interface, and chassis technologies. In these areas, Intel is working directly with the component manufacturers in the supply chain to spur ultrabook momentum in 2012 and beyond.
