 There's a definite trend towards smaller, more portable gadgets, which, in addition to battery life, is a large reason why netbooks have become so popular. But what about ultra-thins? Citing sources from "notebook players," DigiTimes says ultra-thin notebooks will only eat up 15 percent of global notebook shipments in the first half of 2010. The reason, sources say, is because of their awkward market position and price points. There are a bevy of Intel chips ready to tackle the ultra-thin market, including the dual-core SU9600, SU9400, SU7300, SU4100, and SU2300, as well as the single-core Celeron 743 chips, but ultra-thins built around these chips are having trouble competing with entry-level notebooks, both in terms of price and performance. Going forward, expect vendors to push their ultra-thin lineups to the business market, though price/performance ratios will still present a hurdle.
