In the second quarter 2012 we expect ultrabooks with Thunderbolt port from Acer, ASUS and Lenovo. Gigabyte will also add the functionality in motherboards.

Thunderbolt combines the capabilities of PCI Express and DisplayPort. For example, Thunderbolt can be used to connect an external graphics accelerator to ultrabook .
