[Intel Capital](http://www.engadget.com/tag/intel+capital/) has stumped up $300 million to "drive innovation" in the burgeoning [Ultrabook](http://www.engadget.com/tag/ultrabook/)market. The cash will go to projects that refine user interaction (hint: more touchscreens), reduce power consumption and create devices no thicker than 21mm (0.8-inches). Intel is clearly hoping to lure back all those customers who have ditched laptops for [tablets](http://www.engadget.com/tag/tablet/) by undercutting the popular [Samsung Series 9](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/samsung-series-9-900x-laptop-review/) and [Macbook Air](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/25/macbook-air-review-mid-2011/). The company's new mantra? "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".
