Video: ultra-sleek ASUS UL50 laptop gets hands-on treatment
ASUS vice chairman Jonathan Tsang stated back in June that his company's goal was to "provide products that are better than Apple's," and golly gee, it looks as if the company is actually attempting to reach that bar. The UL series is undoubtedly a good looking bunch, which makes us even more excited to see a near-final UL50 show up on video. The good folks over at Mobile Computer have spent a few qualities minutes with the CULV-based machine, and they definitely dug the brushed aluminum lid, crisp display and full-size keyboard with numeric pad. But look, we're not here to spoil any surprises, so why not click on through and peek the vid yourself?
ASUS gets classy with sleek UL series laptop range
If ASUS' N61 / N71 laptops were just too -- shall we say, glamorous -- for you, how's about the ultra-classy UL lineup? Short for UnLimited possibilities (groan), the UL series offers up a variety of models, all of which rely on Intel's CULV platform for juice and can squeeze up to 12 hours of claimed battery life thanks to having both discrete and integrated graphics onboard. The 1-inch thin machines arrive in either black or brushed aluminum, with room for up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM, a dual-layer DVD burner, a Core 2 Duo CPU and hard drives as large as 500GB. Both 14- and 15.6-inch models are available, though your guess is as good as ours when it comes to pricing and availability.[Via HotHardware]
