Current-Generation Ultrabook Prices To Drop Further by 30% in March-April
A little earlier this month, it was reported that major notebook vendors are planning price-cuts of their current-generation Ultrabooks, to clear inventories and pave the way for next-generation Ivy Bridge-based ones that stick to a more well-defined specification; the price-cuts previously mentioned were in the range of 20-25%. The range is looking more like 20-30% according to the latest DigiTimes report.
Major notebook vendors seem to be in a hurry to make the market digest inventories of current-generation Ultrabooks that are based on anything from ULV "Sandy Bridge" Core processors, to low-power Celeron and Pentium chips, some even AMD Brazos. In addition to Ultrabooks, conventional notebooks based on Sandy Bridge Core processors, and client desktops also stand to face price-cuts.

It makes sense, samsung already had that ivy bridge ultrabook product page blunder, so the mobile processors are probably closer to release then we are lead to believe.
It still seems drastic to cut prices up to 30 percent for them. No doubt B&M retail will not really see any difference at all thanks to middle man greed. :shadedshu
