Once upon a time you could have a regular laptop or you could pay a whole lot more and get an ultraportable one. Now, Intel is pushing ultrabooks, HP has just thrown down the "Sleekbook" and only Apple is really making any headway, not even bothering to class the MacBook Air as anything other than a notebook. HP is pushing the Sleekbook name - featuring for the first time on 14- and 15.6-inch ENVY models unveiled today - as, it seems, a counter-branding attempt that gives the firm more flexibility in its hardware decisions.

HP Envy 14 Spectre Review
The HP ENVY 14 Spectre was easily one of the most promising ultrabooks we saw at CES 2012, and a few months of waiting hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm. The premium notebook combines high-end features and unique materials into a 14-inch body that’s distinct from just about everything on the market, which is something you couldn’t say for many of HP’s previous entries in the ENVY line. Does this unique machine rise above the pack? Let’ find out.
HP profit falls 44% in first fiscal quarter
In case the rocky road that was HP's 2011 wasn't an indication, they aren't doing so hot lately. Today the company reported the results for its first fiscal quarter (November through January) saw revenue drop an eye-popping 44% over the same time period last year. That's mostly due to falling shipments in the PC industry: corporate customers ordered 7% less, while consumers ordered a whopping 25% less than they had the previous year. Hewlett Packard's printer business, normally a steady source of reliable income, fell 7% in the first quarter.

Ultrabook prices unlikely to drop much until 2013
After the constant bombardment at CES last month, it's hard to deny that Intel's Ultrabook spec hasn't hit its stride. And while most are hitting the $1000 mark (for base models, and with a few exceptions) the valuable perks they add in portability and battery life have made them a few fans - including us. Unfortunately, they aren't likely to budge on the all important sticker price for at least another year: DigiTimes reports that ultrabook hardware suppliers are having a hard time lowering the price of components, and the total cost for the skinny laptops is unlikely to shift significantly until 2013.

HP Envy Spectre coming in 15-inch version
One of the more exciting ultrabooks that we spotted at CES 2012 was the Envy 14 Spectre, HP's high-style and low-weight addition to its ENVY line. The ultrabook made a good impression thanks to is unique Gorilla Glass top, 1600x900 LCD and a compact body that crams a 14-inch screen into a size usually reserved for 13-inch laptops. DigiTimes reports that HP is showing off a 15-inch version of the Spectre in Taiwan, and that means it can't be too long before it shows up in western markets.

HP Folio 13 Review
Everyone has an laptop based on Intel’s Ultrabook spec these days, and if they don’t already, they showed it off at CES last week. Just being thin and light isn’t enough to stand out in the crowd now, and HP knows that. To that end, they’ve produced the Folio 13, an Ultrabook that they’re aiming at the business market. The 13-inch laptop still manages to come in at under a grand, so it’s worth considering even if you don’t spend most of your working hours between one terminal and another. How does the Folio 13 stack up to the rest of the Ultrabook competition? I spent the last week finding out.
