Ultrabooks<\/a> are sleek and sexy, a marriage of laptop and tablet. But are they contenders against Apple\u2019s iPad<\/a>?\u00a0 Are we talking oranges and oranges here?<\/p>\n

The Ultrabook has a 2nd Generation Intel Core processor<\/a>. It\u2019s whisper thin, less than 20mm (0.8 inch) to pinch between our fingers, and word is it\u2019ll sell for under $1,000 come this winter\u2019s shopping season.<\/p>\n

It has tablet features<\/a>, such as a quick start-up, days of battery life on standby, and a touchscreen.<\/p>\n

Within months of its retail debut, another version with the Ivy Bridge<\/a> processor will hit the market, and in 2013, a third version powered by the Haswell<\/a> processor will be on the shelves.<\/p>\n

Intel aims to match or beat the power efficiency of iPad.<\/p>\n

But is the Ultrabook an iPad extreme? Will iPad users be tossing their tablets and drooling for the newbie?<\/p>\n

Well…<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t buy my iPad instead<\/em> of a workhorse laptop. I bought my iPad in addition<\/em> to my laptop.<\/p>\n

The iPad is fun and lightweight, with a quick response time as I jump from website to website. It\u2019s my e-reader and movie screen and sometimes I even do a little work on it. And, it\u2019s the magical land of apps (ignore the goofy grin on my face, I can\u2019t help it).<\/p>\n

As a side note, it runs on mobile-phone chips<\/a> instead of Intel\u2019s processor, although that\u2019s not figuring into my vote.<\/p>\n

Intel wants us to view their Ultrabook as an iPad with the ferocious functionality of a laptop.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know enough about the Ultrabook to predict its future with certainty. If it has all of the features of the iPad and apps out the wazoo, and if the screen snaps off and on the keyboard for those times you just want the tablet, it\u2019ll be hard to resist.\u00a0 Full disclosure – we know it doesn\u2019t snap off and on, but wouldn\u2019t that tip the scales?<\/p>\n

If it does all that, it just might beat the iPad. However, from what we know at this time, it\u2019s not the contender to knock iPad out of the ring.<\/p>\n
