New Computer Technology and New Computers

I've mentioned that the semiconductor world (eg Intel) has been converting to a new technology that provides some significant anvantages over today's technology.  For Intel, the new technology is code named "Haswell."  References:

• Wiki article
• A layman's article on Haswell (unfortunately nothing is layman when it comes to explaining what is changing!

The bottom line is (1) power management like we haven't seen before, giving us 20 hour ultrabooks and huge increases in smart phone functional performance; (2) much improved graphical performance; (3) another leap in speed.

The first ultrabook I've seen in this technology is the Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabook.  I actually can't find a web page that describes this device.  Strange??  But it is under 1/2" thick, has the new generation processor, 4G RAM, 256GB SSD drive (a huge flash drive) plus reasonable ports, such as USB 3.0, etc.  The screen is touch and it ships with Windows 8.  Battery life?  12 hours!
