Analysts agree that much of the semiconductor growth over the next few years will be in the mobile market segments—smart phones, tablets and ultra-books, in particular. At the recent CES, there was no lack of these devices on display, all which are competing to cash in on the cachet that Apple has developed around these products. Although ultra-books will eventually just be notebooks in their final form (I can’t wait to get rid of this heavy block I carry around), this thin, light, long battery life device will add new life and enthusiasm to the notebook PC market. This is a positive sign of the times and a welcome technological progression we all await.
