Hold on tight. Mainstream pricing coming to you from Lenovo.
Yesterday in Hong Kong, Lenovo COO Rory Read promised that “You’ll see us introduce over the coming quarters the ability to reach mainstream price points with [Ultrabook] solutions that were only 18 months ago in premium segments. That’s just a natural evolution of the space.”
Unfortunately, Read did not define what ‘mainsteam’ implied. CNet believes that Read is implying that it will be available under $1,000 – the Ultrabook price that Intel really aims for. On the other hand, that means that the Lenovo X1, which will be released this year will not be priced quite as competitively a Intel might hope.
Nonetheless, it seems that Lenovo isn’t the only company having problems achieving the targets which Intel has for an Ultrabook – power, thinness and competitive pricing.
