Acer wants to push 15-inch Ultrabook for $699 only

According to foreign media reports, the industry rumors that Acer intends to break through the ultrabook definition of Ultrabook, push 15-inch Ultrabook products, priced at only 699 US dollars, far below the current market price of other ordinary superbooks.

According to sources at the Taiwanese media Digitimes, Acer's 15-inch Ultrabook will be produced by Heshuo. The fuselage may be made of glass fiber and priced at US$699, which is far below the prices of other ordinary ultrabooks currently on the market. According to reports, if the Acer 11-inch and 13-inch Ultrabook sales are satisfactory, then Acer may then launch a 15-inch Ultrabook.

It is not yet clear what configuration Acer will use for this 15-inch Ultrabook. It is reported that Acer may release the relevant details early next year, and may also publish relevant details at the Consumer Electronics Show held on January 8 next year.

Regardless of what design Acer uses, the 15-inch Ultrabook is beyond Intel's definition of a superclass. The word Ultrabook is intended to be ultra-portable and weigh no more than 3 pounds. The configured screen size is usually under 13 inches. It is expected that at the forthcoming Consumer Electronics Show, some other PC makers may also publish similar products that break through the definition of the ultrabook. In the future, Superbook will likely be used to describe thin and light Windows laptops.

Intel originally defined the Ultrabook in order to provide reference to Windows PC manufacturers to produce products that are different from MacBook Air. However, due to Ultrabook's need for ultra-thin and high-speed performance design, the lower quality body and lower speed processor cannot be used in the production process, many PC manufacturers often complain that Superbooks cannot compete with Apple's products on price. .
