Ultrabookoks

Ultrabookoks is a fictional or speculative term used to describe a class of ultra-portable laptops that extends the ultrabook concept with a strong emphasis on open hardware and software standards. The term appears mainly in speculative technology writing and in some science fiction contexts, and it has no formal certification or widespread production status in the real world.

In the envisioned design, ultrabookoks aim to be thin and light while offering high energy efficiency and repairability. Typical figures in the concept include a weight around 1.0 to 1.3 kilograms, a thickness of about 10 to 13 millimeters, and a 12 to 14 inch display. Battery life is expected to be long, with ranges commonly cited from 12 to 20 hours under standard workloads. These devices are often imagined with modular components that can be upgraded or replaced, such as batteries, storage, and memory, using standardized interfaces. They favor solid-state storage and energy-efficient processors to balance performance with power consumption.

A core principle of ultrabookoks is open hardware and software. This might involve firmware developed with open-source licenses, publicly available hardware schematics, and standardized modular parts. Operating system choices in the concept typically include Linux distributions or other open-source-friendly setups, sometimes alongside minimal Windows configurations designed to emphasize security and maintainability.

Market status remains niche and speculative. Ultrabookoks are not a mainstream product category, but they contribute to discussions about repairability, open standards, and sustainable design in portable computing. See also ultrabook, open hardware, open-source firmware.
