Here is a brief clip from a recent New York Times article posted about Ultrabooks after the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. To read the full article click on the link below.

Helping to drive Apple’s growth is its MacBook Air, a laptop computer that measures less than an inch thick and weighs under three pounds. In late 2010, Apple reduced the base price of the Air to $1,000, down from its original $1,800 price tag.

So what did the PC makers introduce last week here at the International Consumer Electronics Show? Ultrabooks, thin laptop computers built with a new Intel low-power chip and solid-state storage that replaces the bulkier mechanical hard drive.

Intel had about a dozen Ultrabooks on display in its booth from manufacturers including Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, LG and Asus. And Intel, which holds the Ultrabook trademark, expects 70 more notebook designs will arrive in 2012, according to Anand Lakshmanan, Intel’s Ultrabook product manager.

Most of the Ultrabooks cost upward of $900, though Intel wants to work with manufacturers to bring the average price down to $700, Mr. Lakshmanan said.
Some Ultrabooks are aiming to outdo the Air, if not on price then on abilities. Dell’s XPS 13 is a $1,000 laptop with an aluminum shell and a 13-inch screen; it weighs 2.99 pounds and measures less than an inch thick. Acer’s S5 Ultrabook, which does not yet have a price, weighs less than three pounds and measures 0.59 of an inch at its thickest point, making it even thinner than the MacBook Air, which is 0.67 of an inch at its thickest point.

In March 2008, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced plans to implement new security procedures that would allow travelers to pass through airport security checkpoints without having to remove their laptops from their cases. Simultaneously, the TSA issued a request to laptop bag manufacturers to create “Checkpoint Friendly” laptop bags to help speed up security lines, allowing passengers to get to their departure gates in a timely manner. These new cases help shorten wait times for more than 250 million passengers that travel annually in the U.S.

TSA gave specific guidelines they required for each laptop bag to comply with in order to be TSA compliant or Checkpoint Friendly. The laptop compartment must be independent and clear of any other gadgets, cords, metal zippers, etc. TSA screeners must have a clear unobstructed view of the laptop itself. As long as these strict requirements are met, the new designed laptop bags would be cleared for use at all U.S. airports. If laptop bags do not meet these specific guidelines that will not be considered Checkpoint Friendly and the traveler will have to remove their laptop or Ultrabook from their case.

Mobile Edge was among the first manufacturers to offer Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags in the marketplace. Their ScanFast™ Collection of Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Cases exceeds all TSA guidelines to be Checkpoint Friendly. In fact, the Design Team at Mobile Edge took the TSA requirements one step further and made the padded computer compartment see through with large writing for TSA agents to easily read, “Checkpoint Friendly.” Business travelers sent feedback to Mobile Edge announcing how easy their trip was going though security checkpoints thanks to their new ScanFast laptop case they purchased.

The TSA does not officially endorse any private company’s products, so companies cannot claim their cases are “TSA Approved.” However, companies can say their laptop cases are TSA compliant if they meet their astringent criterion.

Mobile Edge leads the Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bag category by offering 14 different styles of TSA compliant laptop cases designed for both men and women. Mobile Edge is known for their stylish women’s laptop cases and now offers six different styles of Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Cases as part of their ScanFast for Her Collection. All Mobile Edge Laptop Bags come with a Lifetime Warranty.

The Orange County Susan G. Komen Affiliate hosted their annual Grants Award Breakfast last week at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Mobile Edge is a proud corporate partner with Susan G. Komen for the Cure nationally, and close partner with the Orange County Affiliate.

I had the opportunity to see just how the individual grants are awarded to local breast health care facilities. Wonderful people and clinics helping under privileged families that may not have the money to pay for a mammogram screening, or even health care for individuals who have breast cancer and need treatment.

As a local and national sponsor, it was very rewarding for me to see the individual lives every dollar impacts locally and nationally. Mobile Edge helps raise money for Komen in several ways. Locally, Mobile Edge produces 2,000 cancer survivor bags for the OC Race for the Cure each year and also donates Komen Laptop Bags to individuals who raise more than $6,000 for the Foundation.

Nationally, Mobile Edge donates to Susan G. Komen for the Cure with a minimum contribution of $25,000 annually. However, most of the time Mobile Edge exceeds that amount based on sales. Mobile Edge donates 10% of the retail sales price of each Komen Caring Case they sell, back to the Foundation.

To date, Mobile Edge has contributed a combined amount more than $325,000 and counting. Visit the Mobile Edge Caring Case Collection and see how you can help raise money for such an amazing organization and cause.
