Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. are unveiling slim “ultrabook” laptops at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, stepping up competition with Apple Inc.’s MacBook Air.
Hewlett-Packard introduced a $1,400 laptop yesterday called the Envy 14 Spectre, which packs a 14-inch screen into a compact chassis encased in black. Dell, meanwhile, is showing its own take on the ultrabook -- an industry term created by Intel Corp. for light, thin laptops.
