Ultrabook domains - winners or waste of time?

This phrase went viral yesterday after the announcement by some important bloke at Intel that Ultrabooks will dominate the market in one or 2 years.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...e-sean-maloney
Shitloads of Ultrabook domains were very quickly snapped up!

I managed to bag a few after doing some keyword research on netbooks and notebooks and seeing which were the most popular search terms. I got a few for the UK and a few US domains:
Ultrabooks.org.uk
Ultrabookreviews.co.uk
Ultrabookdeals.net
Ultrabookdeals.org

Did anyone else jump on this one? Do you think this is a potentially lucrative new market or just another fad?

I didn't jump on it, but back in December I did reg ultrathinlaptop.co.uk.

Lots of articles about the Asus UX21 (mentioned in the link) seem to refer to it as an ultrathin laptop so hopefully it will become a regular laptop 'category', but who knows.

I´d just sell them on - dont seem to have much luck developing domains where I need datafeeds for constantly changing products. Information sites seem to be far and away my most successful ventures.
That or JV them.

Given the trademark issue then I would cancel these domains before you land yourself in trouble
