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.

There are a total of four UL laptops: the UL20 (12.1″), UL30 (13.3″), UL50 (15.6″), and UL80 (14″).

- HP dm1, dm3
- Samsung X420, X520

Entao um bocadinho off topic... estou para comprar o toshiba u500, como nao é urgente, será que vale a pena esperar até à saida desses ASUS??? Estou a falar em comparacao com o ASUS de 13,3'?

obrigado
 
Eu também já estive virado para o toshiba U500, mas depois algumas coisas fizeram-me ficar atrás:

- Duração da bateria
- Peso
- Tenho uma unidade externa de bd-rom/dvd+-rw, logo a falta desta unidade não é importante.
 
estive no site da asus e nao encontrei nada sobre estes portateis.. realment o toshiba no peso e na bateria deixa muito a desejar.. mas comparando os restantes componentes, valerá a pena aguardar um mes pela chegada destes asus??
 
ASUS UL80 and N61Vg hands-on

Windows 7 has inspired an expected new model bonanza among PC manufacturers, and ASUS is no exception. Just for starters the new UL80 (pictured running Windows Vista) and N61Vg offer up some "mainstream" prices and performance up against that Win 7 hotness. The UL80 makes like a thin and light, with a new dual-core CULV SU7300 processor and a quoted 12 hours of battery life, but also works in switchable discreet graphics, Turbo33 tech for selective overclocking the processor, and a disc drive. It's still relatively thin and light, and to our eyes has a pretty snazzy display. The N61Vg has a bit of a new design language for ASUS, with a pleasant rubberized palm rest. It also has a multi-touch trackpad, strong multimedia features and a decent size / weight for a 16-inch Core 2 Quad machine. The existing UL80 configuration, without the overclocking, goes for about $849, so we expect the new UL80 to be in that ballpark, while the N61Vg is slated for around $1,049.

O UL30 conseguirá ler filmes 1080p sem se engasgar?

A data de lançamento é mesmo este mês?

Espera-se que saiam no mesmo dia do lançamento do Windows 7, dia 22 deste mês.
Eu nunca testei o desempenho de nenhum portátil com processadores CULV. Eu estava interessado em comprar um portátil ultra leve (para uso universitário) que me permitisse programar em IDEs tipo Visual Studio sem qualquer problema, mas estou na dúvida se estes processadores estão à altura deste tipo de tarefas. Será que alguém que tenha alguma experiência com este tipo de processadores, preferencialmente o SU9400, me pode aconselhar se de facto, esta poderá ser uma boa opção para o que eu necessito? Eu sei que poderia optar por um processador como um dv3 ou algo do género, mas o peso e o design destes novos ASUS são simplesmente brilhantes.

Obrigado.
 
Alguém sabe se o UL80V (o com a 210M) virá cá para Portugal?

Pelo menos num fornecedor (CPCDI) não aparece :( (é o unico UL que não está lá)
