This summer or possibly earlier Asus will be adding to its already busy line of thin and light laptops, which are these days known as ultrabooks with the U47A and the U47VC complete with smart brushed aluminium alloy chassis. The two models appear to be more or less the same in specs and features, apart from the U47A with its integrated Intel HD graphics and the U47VC using the NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. With that being the only visible difference so far, let us check out what these two ultrabooks really do have to offer.
The U series will feature a 14 inch display with a bezel so thin that it measures just over 13 inches, the display is an LED backlit in high definition with an aspect ratio of 16:9, 1366 x 768 of pixel resolutions and it even has a built in 0.3 mega pixel web camera. Asus will probably be using the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors, which come out in Q2 of this year, so expect either the Core i3 or Core i5 variety. It is also safe to say that the next generation discrete GPU built by Nvidia will also features in the U series.
According to sources there will be up to 8 GB of system memory and the option to go from the base 320 GB up to 1 TB hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) with possibility of a spindle speed to 7200 RPM, which is great for faster data access etc. Other known features will of course be the HDMI output, optional Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, super multi DVD drive and a couple of fast connecting USB 3.0 ports. Asus are saying that there will be up to eight hours of battery life, which is great considering that the U Series will weigh in at just 2.9 pounds (1.32 Kg) and will around an inch thick (25.1 mm) now that is what you call an ultrabook.
Naturally, it is too early to know the starting price of the U Series, but keep an eye out for it at the end of Q2 or the beginning of Q3.
