Surface Forms

ultrabook singular
ultrabooks plural

Morphology

ultrabook = book (opaque) = ultra + book

Although the form is built from ultra- plus book, the meaning 'a thin lightweight laptop' is not directly predictable from the meanings of those parts.

Etymology

Ultrabook is a recent name made from ultra ('very' or 'beyond') and book (as in 'notebook', a common word for a laptop). So, an ultrabook is a laptop that goes 'beyond' a normal notebook—very thin, light, and easy to carry.
