HP has confirmed that it will soon release a competitor to the MacBook Air in the ultraportable market.
"Ultrabooks," as they are called, are extremely light, fast and have long battery life due to integrated graphics chips.

Says Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's Personal Systems Group:

We're very focused on having a suite in that ultramobile space, and you'll see that very soon.

Following in the market pioneered by Apple and Dell; Acer, Toshiba, Asus and Lenovo have released ultrabooks in the past few months, mainly 13.3-inch devices that weigh in under 3 pounds.
