Another day another ultra book that no one can afford.
Ultrabooks adopt Chipzilla's vPro
Intel has shown off kit galore using the third generation of its Core-i-series PC silicon in Australia, but used the press event at which it did so the emphasise that the new kit is imbued with its vPro management toolkit it aims at enterprise customers with fleets of PCs. The inclusion of vPro in the new silicon makes it …

Maybe so, maybe not
At least this one might be ok

"Anti-glare display, 16:10 aspect ratio, DisplayPort, ScrollWheel, Full HD webcam and port replicator "
However, I shudder to think how much it will cost and won't a lot of these devices be put in the shade when 'retina' display devices hit the market? We know that Samsung (and Apple) are working on them.

Ultrabook: for consumers or business
Now I'm totally confused.
Ultrabooks were conceived by Intel, this Ozzie Intel lady says. The "security vector" is not something consumer Ultrabooks will have (whatever a security vector is... sounds like a disease).
However, the article earlier says Intel's vpro is used in business oriented Ultrabooks, like Fujitsu's and Lenovo's models. Afterwards it reinforces this by describing them to be business-oriented (fingerprint readers and such.
Presumably the "security vector" would be important for business ultrabooks, right?
So, why was this lady talking about consumer ultrabooks when presenting business-oriented chipsets and models? Why did she not mention the security features for the business Ultrabooks?
Perhaps this mixed message sending is normal though, or I misunderstood the article...

Alternatively...
I wander into meeting, join others round the table, put phone on table for wireless/nfc link (or into universal dock if we must), wireless keyboard is available if needed (but I may have one of those lovely folding one's that used to be around, and some were really quite good), when the time comes my phone takes over the presentation display on the wall, I do my stuff, get standing ovation, job done, we all leave for lunch.
Now what's so hard about that? All the tech already exists; where's the imagination to do stuff?
Instead we get more of the same, just a bit thinner, a bit crappier, a bit more/less expensive; even though there are opportunities going begging.
