Matte Laptop: Lenovo X1 Carbon

Here is another coming Ultrabook with a Matte display! The Lenovo X1 Carbon is a 14 inch ultralight that weights under 3 lbs.



Looks like a good entrant into the field. I really like Lenovo's and if the next MacBook Pro isn't great, this might be the laptop for me.

Intel Ultrabooks here to Compete with MacBook Airs

CNET has a writeup on the fist wave of Ultrabook laptops. These are part of an Intel program to design Windows based laptops to compete with the MacBook Air.



CNET: MacBook Air vs. Ultrabooks: The first wave



I think the most interesting thing is the price. At $900 to $1200 they are not much cheaper than the MacBook Air. So it does make one wonder, why would you buy a Rolex knock off when you could own a Rolex for the same price?



Methinks I would rather get the Air and just run Bootcamp.
