CES 2012: Ultrabooks Highlight the Notebook Sector

The Consumer Electronics Show of 2012 may be over, but a multitude of new and exciting products were showcased and announced. Many of them will be officially released within only a few months' time. Manufacturers from every scope outed more than one notebook series, and Lenovo announced what we called a "massive" lineup of consumer IdeaPad and budget-priced G-series notebooks and laptops.

The highlight of this year's show in the notebook computer category were Ultrabooks; PCs with slimmer-than-ever form factors. Intel pushed manufacturers to produce them, and they have been taking the market by storm ever since. From the Dell XPS 13 and the Samsung Series 5 to the IdeaPad U310 and U410, there will certainly be no shortage of choices for consumers this year.
