7 reasons ultrabook can create revolutionary technology

The changes in the consumer electronics show 2012 (CES 2012) recently in Las Vegas (USA) led many to believe that the ultra-thin notebooks, ultra-light (ultrabook) will make a revolution technology this year.
The landing of the line ultrabook actually takes place in the annual banquet at the American technology.
Since late last year, many technology experts predicts 2012 will be a time of ultrabook, and to create a new wave of laptop market are dominating the tablet, technology firms will rush into this area.
And the landing of the line ultrabook actually takes place in the annual banquet in the U.S. technology. What technology firms bring to CES 2012 is very likely that consumers will make the early running after a fundamentalist tablet.
Here are 7 reasons, according to PC World magazine, enough to make us believe that the technological revolution created by ultrabook happens.

1. Thinner, lighter

As arguments in its natural, super laptops launched recently are thinner and lighter than the traditional product line. Intel has launched ultrabook standard, as up to 0.8 inch thick, weighs less than 1.4 kg.
Even with some ultrabook high life, the concept of thin, light will be more standardized, so that the people carrying them inside becomes much easier.

2. Battery endurance

A standard by Intel for ultrabook that they have reached their battery usage at least 5 hours, or preferably from 8 hours or more. For those who use or have to move, battery life is one of the important selection criteria. With a ultrabook can run eight hours, users can work all day without having to carry a charger or spare battery with you.
Ivy Bridge line of Intel chips due out later this year, will help ensure that your energy is more stable operation. Ivy Bridge chip is said to save energy, operate more efficiently, allowing ultrabook longer battery life over 8 hours.

3. Lai between tablet and laptop

Although the notebook has become conventional superiority over Vietnam, but the tablet still have a place and on a more dominating. Therefore, the task will become ultrabook device in the middle, a hybrid product between tablet and laptop, with the optimum experience.
Computer maker Acer had announced a hybrid tablet that way. When you add in the keyboard, it looks like a ultrabook, but only its own screen, it has become a tablet. At CES 2012, Lenovo also launched a similar product called IdeaPad Yoga.

4. Touchscreen

Those who follow neo purely personal computer may be opposed to the opinion that the touch screen is replacing mouse and keyboard, but it is a fact, a new trend.
Metro interface of Windows 8 is designed to support touch. The line ultrabook future Windows 8 will be equipped with touch screen, allowing users to experience the fun when processing tasks by tapping, dragging, dropping, directly on the screen, while can use traditional screen with keyboard, mouse or trackpad.

5. Voice recognition

If the current technological revolution is a touch screen, the future will be the voice recognition capabilities. The commands for the computer perform tasks by voice appeared a long time, but not until after Apple iPhone 4S posted late last year, this new technology actually becomes mainstream.
Numerous devices at CES 2012 was introduced that can be controlled by voice. Intel recently revealed the company is working with another company to offer voice recognition features such as "Siri on the iPhone 4S" in ultrabook products.

6. Confidentiality

Intel is also trying to further develop security systems for computers. Group leading chip has left a large sum of money to buy security company McAfee, in the hope of bringing security features into future products.
The Intel has provided anti-theft technology (AT) and ensure recognition technology (Intel IPT) for its hardware ultrabook. In particular, AT technology enables users to disable data access on personal computers lost its anywhere, Intel-IPT also helps protect the identity information and personal information to use.

7. Communication near (NFC)

At CES 2012, a number of technology companies launched ultrabook support NFC technology (standard short-range wireless communication, is used on a smartphone like Samsung Galaxy Nexus), such as the Spectre of the HP Envy 14.
With this technology, the HP is not only ultrabook of liquidity support as the Nexus of the Galaxy smartphone manufacturers Samsung, but also may share information with other devices also support NFC.

General comments

It can be said is ultrabook has gathered all the technological features that users need to search on a traditional laptop, the ingenious combination of the advantages of Vietnam on Netbooks and PCs the table.
With a structure so powerful, there is no reason to not believe, ultrabook will create a revolution in mobile computing technology on a global scale. From the present perspective, we can see, the future of this product line is very bright.

Smartphone really need many-core chip?

It seems that the phone manufacturer and the hardware is too much advertising on the strength of the smartphone and cause psychologically "race" to customers. But what users have to type in return is not mentioned.
This partly explain why the version until now mobile operating system is Microsoft's latest Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) does not support multi-core chips. In addition, experts from Microsoft also confirmed that most of the applications for smartphone or tablet is now no need (or not benefit) from dual or quad core chip, except when a number of formats or playing video games was "terrible".
The only dual-core smartphone really the most powerful when users play a game of "support".
Strategic Partners is a vendor of Microsoft mobile phones Nokia is the world's largest applaud this opinion and affirm the dual-core smartphone running Android by a variety of other manufacturers including HTC or Samsung will produce of a kind .... useless.
To prove his point, right at the CES 2012 show floor, an expert Windows Phone Evangelist Ben Randolph has decided to bet 100 USD / time that the smartphone HTC Titan (running single-core chip, Windows Phone 7.5) he has faster rate than any other smartphone in the application startup, web search or use the phone's functions.
Already more than 20 people accept the challenge of Evangelist Ben Randolph, and he only gave up only one time before a 4S iPhone users when the two together to send a message to Twitter.
Randolph and Greg Sullivan, a senior director in Windows Phone array, said experts focused on the Microsoft Windows Phone development so that they serve users in a better way rather than focus on the speed of the smartphone.
"A dual-core chips are less important for phone users, and most of the newer smartphones recently emerged could not explain why their phones not smartphones faster than other single-core" , Sullivan said in an interview, "The problem is that we do not have any application can utilize the power of dual-core chip."
Smartphone released dual-core, but more and more applications to harness the power of dual-core chip was almost not there. However, Sullivan also acknowledged the Windows Phone or any mobile operating system will also have to "move on dual-core" in the coming years also will need the tablet towards quad core. Many bloggers and technology experts evaluated products including JR Raphael of Computerworld magazine has recognized that the quad core chip has led to the Asus tablet Prime Transformer has just been released in November last year would become stronger.
Sullivan said that the current dual-core or quad core really only appeal to true enthusiasts who use technology (enthusiasts) or those in the mobile industry.
The strength of the power of advertising devices through the "show" many-core chip these manufacturers are trying to ignore a very important information as well as chip level, the "energy drain" of the device the greater.
"There are so many things in exchange for high-speed chip and the battery life is just one of those factors," Burden said experts.
Jack Gold, an analyst with J. Gold Associates, the opinion that the existing application of the world does not need to dual-core on quad core on a smartphone or tablet, but he predicted within a years time we will be releasing generation of new mobile applications can leverage the power of multiple core chips.
Applications or energy drain is not over. If a smartphone or tablet PC's hardware configuration you have a crisis but it comes with a wireless network is slow, it's all meaningless.
In the U.S., Sprint Nextel networks are beginning to launch a series smartphone and tablet extruded multi-core chip, but parallel to it, they're rushing to upgrade its mobile network to LTE technology as an act of "open remote highway "for the large-car engines move more. Recently, Sprint has launched additional models and LG Viper Galaxy Nexus supports LTE and 4G mobile networks using dual-core chip.
"Normally we tend to chase technology, but also good if there is a stage we can head off technology. Give customers the high-speed devices, providing high-speed wireless network high but no less important, but many people forget is: "Teach" to customers that know what to do, and how to exploit what they are good for users, "Ryan Sullivan, director of development Sprint's product development conclusion.

Dell will join the tablet market in late 2012

According to information published by Reuters, Dell is planning to join the tablet PC market later this year with a device that was designed to consumers.
Does Dell have learned nothing from the lessons tablet Streak Streak 5 and 7 to leave earlier?
Before that Dell has introduced the Streak tablet running Android focus on the enterprise market. But the company was forced to "death" of their product not long ago as the product is not competitive with other competitors.
However, after having "learned" the failure of manufacturers other tablets as well as his own, along with better understanding of user expectations for a tablet , Dell has decided to "test fire" again. This information has been CEO of Dell Steve Felice confirmed in an interview at CES 2012 taking place in Las Vegas, USA.
Felice said that Dell will be very careful in the war on the tablet which is very crowded today, and it will return to this market with a large number of devices to meet the requirements of the customers set used.
Related to the operating system environment on a computer using his table, Felice said that although its Windows platform 8 is very interested, but maybe Android is the operating system of choice for upcoming series .
Perhaps joining back Tablet PC market is something that Dell feels are necessary, especially as more and more companies are rivals gained a lot of success from this lucrative market.

Android device running with Apple's cloud

Finally, the Android device makers also see the important thing is to compete with Apple to bring services and software to mobile devices.
At the Consumer Electronics Show CES 2012 in Las Vegas (USA), few of these firms have presented outlines of their cloud strategy.
Acer and Lenovo, the maker of the tablet and smartphone Android and Windows personal computers, will offer cloud services and server services to help sync, access to the content and materials more easily by PCs, smartphones and tablets.
 
Acer to equip their devices with AcerCloud, a hosting service that users can transfer documents and files shared via tablets, smart phones and personal computers. Lenovo also has information about cloud services coming out of their eyes, to allow access and share content and files on TV, tablet PCs, smart phones and personal computers they produce through the clouds personal or public.
 
Two firms are in an overall strategy for mobile devices initiated by Apple, where software and services have been included in the product iPad and iPhone Apple's highly successful. According to analysts, in addition to Amazon, the maker of the Android device is most often the hardware manufacturers have tried before and provides a set of software and integration services commensurate to improve computer table and smartphone.
According to industry analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Technology Insights and Strategy, Lenovo and Acer has provided a full range of hardware, but do not provide adequate services to applications and users.
Mr. Moorhead hopes, the company will meet the deficiencies within 18 months by combining with partners and internal development.
 
The personal cloud services as well as Apple's iCloud "sticking factor" helps retain customers when sales decline, according to Mr. Moorhead. Development and expansion of individual cloud services can be making money is important for the future of Lenovo and Acer. The two companies see this and realize they must improve their capabilities.
 
Despite being made, but the hardware does not necessarily have to provide cloud services, especially for setting up, maintaining and managing this type of service is costly and complex, according to Charles King, Head of Pundt-group analysis of IT. But if investment plans and proper and partners, a hardware vendor can use cloud services to serve its long-term benefits.
 
According to King, Apple is the typical picture of all the company wants to follow, but the Android device to its effort to keep step, when considering the fragmented community of hardware and software.
Mr. King said, the features that have helped lead to the tremendous success of the Android community is diverse and widespread. This also suggests that individual firms have at any size and scale to be truly a company like Apple homogeneous.
 
If the Android community to succeed, cloud services must be different, because the hardware features are often similar.
 
According to King, cloud services can bring new revenue streams, particularly attractive to firms in the device before increasing profit less.
