ASUS has clearly given itself to the Intel CULV processor cause by enlarging the UL series family with new notebooks which measure a relatively thin 1″ while boasting a lightweight aluminum chassis that makes it a whole lot easier on the shoulders to tote around. They are able to run up to 12 hours per charge, where the high end 15.6″ models will comprise of the UL50A, UL50Ag and UL50Vg, where they’re powered by a 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo or 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo, Intel GMA 4500 graphics and up to 4GB of RAM. As for the 14″ range, you will find the UL80Ag and UL80V models sharing similar configurations as that of the UL50Ag/Vg. The smallest among the lot would be the UL20A and UL30A machines that do away with optical drives to shave down their size further. No idea on pricing, but they ought to hit North America in the near future.
