DigiTimes reports Gigabyte and MSI have not yet made plans for ultrabooks because they're still losing money on their laptop businesses:
Benefiting from the motherboard business, MSI is still able to break even, but the company has already been adjusting the direction of the notebook business and will put most of its focus on gaming notebooks in the future.

As for Gigabyte, despite the company saying it will not give up its notebook product line, so far, the company has not yet made any plans for ultrabooks and is mainly pushing its Booktop series notebooks that feature a docking station as well as several high-end gaming and entry-level models with total shipments in 2011 to be less than 300,000 units.
