I know everyone's been talking about the UX21 and all but I just spied UX31 announcement snuck into
COMPUTEX 2011: ASUS UX Series Ultraportable | Video - Techinstyle.tv
so for those of us waiting on the 13.3" like me (waiting for the U36SD) --- might not be a bad idea to wait for this gem in September, just saying :p
The UX is supposed to be a whole line up (or so I've read), so there will likely be even bigger models.
thank god i really wanted a 13 inch model but i hate the bigger thick bezel whats up with that?
I thought the Ux21 was a 13" laptop until I read more info. This is the laptop I prefer instead of the Ux21, that's more like a netbook.
so whats the difference between this and the u36 other than the better battery life of u36sd, thicker size of u36 and the dedicated gpu? a bit confused of how the company seems to be dishing out 2 laptops to the same type of 13" market?
Ux31 is gonna have a slim form factor like the macbook air
While U36SD is going to be much more performance oriented -- w/o sacrificing much of the svette formfactor;
The U31 is more budget friendly w/ the thin formfactor too (no optical)
while U30 is kind of your standard 13.3
There's a lot of options but they each hit their niche market -- with the first 2 being the on the high end **
cool thanks. im really looking fwd to the 36sd for the time being ;)
Will it still have the silly 1366x768 res? I know it's an ultra-portable, but a nice screen res would not be such a bad thing.
Just read up an article saying Ux21/31 will have SanDisks' U100 SSD so it'll probably be on the smaller size if we're hoping for a competitive price point - but its a pretty fast little zipper 450mb/s write
