The rise in popularity of highly portable tablets has caused laptop manufacturers to scrambe to create new ultra-portable laptops. Mainly, tablet PCs and ultra-portable computers such as ultrabooks have been many manufacturers response to the rise in tablet popularity. They provide users with the portability aspect of tablets and the high productivity capabilities of full-size laptops. Now more than ever, with these new products consumers are able to capitalize on the productivity elements previously only available in full-size laptops, and the portability afforded to tablets.
In fact, according to eWEEK.com, ultra-portable tablet PCs and ultrabooks are expected to surpass the sale of full-size notebook computers. On-the-go portability has become the benchmark for many business professionals and students. Tablet PCs and ultrabooks provide such individuals not only with the productivity elements of standard notebooks, but also the portability previously only available from tablets.
Furthermore, features such as instant-on activation and extended battery life are attractive features found on such computers. For example, an individual can walk into a meeting, open their tablet PC and instantly access important documents. Additionally, with the extended battery life found in such products, constantly having to find an outlet to plug in your computer becomes less of a hassle.
Additionally, the price for such products is continually becoming more affordable. Previously the cost of critical components such as touch screens and flash storage were relatively expensive. Now more than ever, as more products enter the market, users can purchase such products with essential capabilities for a continually more affordable price.

No longer does the business professional need a Wi-Fi hotspot to accomplish productivity goals. Tablet PCs offer Internet connectivity virtually anywhere there is a signal.
The uncluttered user interface has also attracted many users to tablet PCs.

For many, the touch screen navigation and simple one click step of opening applications is essential in highly distractive environments.
