Although thin and lightweight, Ultrabook still not very popular because the price is too expensive for consumers. However, that soon will change because Ultrabook cheaper version is being prepared.
Intel, the microchip giant heavily promoting Ultrabook, will launch Celeron processor Ultra-Low-Voltage (ULV) type 877 and 807 are each valued US $ 86 and $ 70. These processors are much cheaper than Core i7-3720QM that sold for US $ 378.
Intel Celeron 807 processor uses one core that works at speed of 1.5 GHz, while the Celeron 877 is dual-core processors that works at speed of 1.4 GHz.
"ULV" on the new processor refers to the so-called low-power consumption of only 17 watts. Both have architecture base Sandy Bridge and is made with 32 nm fabrication process.
With these cheap processors, manufacturers can push the price Ultrabook to 700 U.S. dollars. Cheaper Ultrabook is scheduled to be released on third quarter of this year. In late 2012 or early 2013, the price of Ultrabook range could reach 600 U.S. dollars.
Furthermore, Intel also reportedly encouraged the use of new types of batteries for Ultrabook to push the price. One of them is the prismatic lithium-ion battery which is very thin and has been used in limited amounts in Lenovo IdeaPad 530 Ultrabook.
In low-cost laptop segments, Intel faces competition from AMD. AMD is carrying A-10 series "Trinity" through thin laptop Ultrathin. Ultrathin Laptop mentioned will be sold at price of U.S. $ 600 range.
