When Paul Otellini announced Ultrabooks last year, he predicted they would grab 40% of the laptop market by this year. One analyst firm has saidUltrabooks will only make up 5% of the market this year (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/377281/why-ultrabooks-are-falling-well-short-of-intels-targets), slashing its own sales predictions from 22m this year to 10.3m. However, IHS iSuppli said that Ultrabooks have a chance at success if manufacturers get prices down between $600 to $700 — a discount of as much as $400 on the average selling price of the devices — and they could still grab a third of the laptop market by 2016."
