Hewlett Packard to Launch New HP Ultrabook on New Year Holidays, rivaling Apple Macbook Air | New Technology News – IT Tech | It seems that Hewlett Packard (HP) will resume its PC business to get into the Ultrabook or PC devices market with a thin model.

"Ultramobile is a category of notebook that has a thickness of approximately 17 millimeters. We are very focused to have a channel in the ultramobile market and will soon present it to our customers," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP Personal Systems Group.

HP (with Dell) will be one of PC makers entering the ultrabook market by designing devices with a thickness of 0.8 inches and weighs under 3 pounds. It seems that HP plans to enter the ultrabook market due to compete with Apple MacBook Air.

"HP does not yet officially announced its intention to enter the Ultrabook market and yet have a flagship product as Lenovo, Asus, Acer and Toshiba that have released laptops with ultra-thin models," said Deron Kershaw, an analyst of GAP Intelligence, as quoted by Cnet.

"At present it is unclear whether HP will launch ultrabook before holidays this year and if so, whether the HP will carry the name Pavilion or Envy," he continued.

Windows 8 tablet is also one of the products scheduled by HP to be developed soon. Even HPs new CEO, Meg Whitman claims will focus on developing a tablet that uses the Windows 8 platform.

"I think we need to get into the tablet business and we will definitely be there with Windows 8. We will make another run at this business," said HP CEO, Meg Whitman.
