A move for reasons by Intel, since the hybrid has been well received by the network of networks, but you could say the name made ​​us remember typewriters and drugs. The name Intel has assigned to its prototype reference is Cove Point, but imagine that it will not be used in final products, but is interpreted as a variant of Ultrabook format.
