At the conclusion of Mooly Eden’s keynote, we stopped by the Ultrabook demo area on the show floor at IDF to snap off a few pictures of the systems that have currently been announced. The demo area was mobbed, so we didn’t get much hands-on time with each system, but form factors and aesthetic differences of the various machines on display are evident in the image gallery below.

On display were Ultrabooks from Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, LG, Pegatron and Samsung. The Asus UX21 and UX31 were on display, along with the Acer SE/Aspire 3951, the LG Shuriken, the Lenovo Ideapad U300s, the Toshiba Portege Z830 series, the Samsung Series 9, and a pair of 13.3” and 14.1” machines from Pegatron.

Future Ultrabooks from Compal, Inventec, Foxconn, and Quanta are also slated, but were not on display in the demo area.

That about wraps up day 2 coverage, though we'll be sure to check back with anything juicy we stumble upon.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
