Asus Show Off The Next Generation

Well for anyone can by apparently downloading the Asus World Magazine, when I say simple that could be an understatement as the download is 108 Mb in size and it is a PDF too!

One all that has been done the specs for the some of the more interesting Asus computers become apparent.

This includes the U Series or Asus Bamboo Collection, these laptops were first seen at the CES and boast the Inter Core i5 and even has the famous USB 3.0 installed.

Features of the brand new Asus U Series Bamboo Collection:

•U-series: Otherwise known as ASUS’ Bamboo Collection, the U-series laptops were highlighted at CES, where we discovered they would have Core i5 CPUs and USB 3.0 support. Well, that’s not the whole story. They’ve also all got NVIDIA Optimus auto-switching graphics between an onboard Intel GMA HD and the GeForce 310M 1GB. Oh, and forget Core i5 — these machines support processors all the way up to the 2.66GHz Core i7-620M. Highlight: The U30JC, with a combo Blu-ray drive and a chiclet keyboard that won a iF Product Design Award.

•UL-series: ASUS for “UnLimited,” you can read UL as “ultra low,” as in Intel’s ultra low voltage (ULV) processors that provide 8+ hours of battery life and let these notebooks stay cool despite being under an inch thin. We saw the UL80JT sport NVIDIA Optimus at CES and got hands-on with the Optimus-equipped UL50VF; now, the UL30JT now has it as well. Highlight: That same UL50VF, with an estimated 12+ hours of battery life.

Fujistu ProGREEN Lifebooks: How Long Can You Compute?

fujitsu progreen

Because Fujitsu isn’t known for anything else, they’ve announced the ProGREEN line. Yes, this bit player in the portable computing business could use the attention that calling anything “green” gets these days, but these models look pretty legit. They’re Energy Star 5.0 certified, with LED-backlit displays (14 inches on the Lifebook E780, 15.6 inches on the Lifebook S710). What’s the big deal, you ask? The E780 sports an 18-hour battery life — well, it uses two batteries, so nine hours each, but whatever, that’s an absurd span of unpluggedness.

The E780 even runs a pretty serious 2.4 GHz i5 processor, though the base model comes with a skimpy 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM. It’s available from Fujitsu for ,237, so we really hope the insane battery life thing is true.
