Technology Timeline Advances Again with Intel Ultrabook Innovation
Let’s take a moment to imagine a world without computers. How different our lives would be if not for desktops, laptops and now the Ultrabook Trade Mark ?! Computers have changed our lives. They've certainly changed mine.
I bank online with a bank that I've never stepped foot inside, and its actual physical location is across the country. I couldn’t do that without my computer. My parents are texting and using Facebook now. We all post to social media sites, "pin," "like," and tweet throughout the day. The way we bank, communicate, and even the way we watch TV and movies would be totally different not for the advances in technology in just the last few years.
Intel was founded in 1968 by physicists Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce. Originally, they planned on naming the company Moore Noyce, but you can probably guess why they quickly abandoned that idea and went with a more suitable name—NM Electronics. They used that name for nearly a year before they changed it again to Integrated Electronics, or Intel, for short.
With the latest Intel ad campaign for Ultrabook, we’re talking about how suddenly everything else seems so old-fashioned. Technology has made another leap forward with the sleek and responsive Ultrabook. It performs well, is super portable at less than 1 inch thick, and has great battery life, which means our computer bags will get a whole lot lighter.

Imagine a world without Intel—it’s pretty much the same thing.
