Asus to launch Intel-powered ultra-thin laptops

Leaks from Taiwan indicate that Asus is going to launch two ultra-thin laptops powered with Intel’s 743 (Celeron) and SU2300 processors. The new computers will first launch abroad (Asia, Europe) before hitting the USA at some point… Both processors are usually used in entry-level computers, so we expect the new products to be priced below $700. Asus believes that ultra-thin computers will represent 10 to 20 percent of their total notebook shipment in the next quarter.
