    It's safe to say that Ultrabook sales have had a slow start. Last year Ultrabooks only accounted for 1.3 million units sold. However, recent research from GBI suggests that this is subject to change, as Ultrabooks are projected to make half of all Notebook Sales by 2016.

    ouch! that was bad! I dont think that they are:

    1) including the MBA in those figures
    2) dont take into account that a lot of those models came out very late in q3 or q4, making them with less than half a year of true exposure.

    Im waiting to see this year numbers, we have a half for SB and half for ivy ultrabooks, that would be something interesting to see, and with the growth of models being offered its going to be far interesting to see if this succeeds or dies as a brand
