Asus U2

Just a quick heads up for those who missed the news. The Asus U2 is now official.

It comes with a 11.1" LED backlit widescreen and features Intel's ULV U7500 CPU, Intel GM965 Chipset, up to 4GB 667 MHz RAM, a 32 GB SSD option, 3 USB ports and starts at 1.25 kg.

Seems Asus is trying to snatch some market share from Sony and the Vaio TZ.

The only disappointing hardware is the 1.8" 4,200RPM hard drives. One more reason to go for the SSD instead, I guess.

As usual, the bezel is a bit too fat for the screen, but of course they need to accommodate the web cam and make it more harmonious looking at the edges of the screen. I however, look forward to the day where they start incorporating the same ultrathin bezel technology that Fujitsu recently introduced on their latest notebooks. More on that later.
