The ASUS UL20A is one of the company's finest creations. It straddles the middle-ground between netbooks and much larger and more powerful laptops; it beats out most netbooks in terms of power, while it edges out laptops in terms of portability. You could do worse by buying one of these as your main mobile computer.
Obviously, ASUS wanted to make it even better. The UL20FT has the same chassis and sleek design but under the hood is a different story. Originally powered by a 1.3GHz dual core Intel Core 2 Duo, customers will now have the option of choosing between an Intel Celeron U3400 (1.02GHz) processor and an Intel Core i3 330UM processor (1.2GHz) as their CPU. The chips are also boosted by Turbo33 technology – allowing you to overclock them by 33 percent. That's a big power boost for what is technically a netbook. Here are the full specs for those interested:
12.1" 1366 x 768 display (glare) ASUS Turbo33 technology (enhance perfomance by 33%) Intel Core i3-330UM (1.2GHz, Turbo Boost) Intel Celeron U3400 (1.02GHz, Turbo Boost) Intel HM55 chipset Intel GMA HD graphics up to 4GB DDR RAM up to 250GB / 320GB / 500GB 2.5" 5400RPM SATA 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi 10/100 LAN 0.3MP webcam Altec Lansing / SRS Premium Sound 1.56 kg (6-cell battery) Windows 7 Ultimate / HP / Professional 8 hour battery life (6-cell)
No price point or release date yet, but with Computex in full swing next month, you'll bet this will be showing up soon.
