So do you own one of these Ultrabooks?  Let us know what you think about it in the comments below.  Primarily, I see the the Ultrabook being able to compete more with traditional laptops (think the Dell Latitude) as opposed to hacking into the tablet market.  After all, the Ultrabook ultimately is not a tablet at all since it has the attached keyboard.  But what Intel is seeing with the Ultrabook is that super light and thin can compete with the greater laptop industry.
