Gigabyte has finally unveiled two of its ultrabooks, the U2442N and U2442V. The company introduced them just a short time ago in Hannover, Germany, having secured a spot at this year's CeBIT show. Like all ultrabooks, they are very thin mobile PCs with performance slightly higher than that of netbooks but lower or equal to that of standard notebooks.
The U2442N, the stronger of the two based on performance, uses standard voltage central processing units from the Intel Core i5 and Core i7 lines. Storage space is either a 750GB solid state drive (SSD) or a 750GB HDD (hard disk drive), depending on user's value between speed and capacity. Furthermore, Gigabyte tossed in USB 3.0 support, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and an optional Thunderbolt port as well as a backlit keyboard.
The U2442V, as the less performance-focused, runs on either of the ultra-low voltage CPUs, Core i5 or Core i7, but share the same specs with the former.
Gigabyte chose to make its ultrabooks slightly larger than competing devices, with screens measuring 14 inches instead of 13.3. The native resolution is of 1,600 x 900 pixels, not exactly Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) but better than HD (1,366 x 768 pixels).
Unfortunately, Gigabyte did not say how long the two models are supposed to last on a single battery charge, so there's no telling if the battery span of the U2442V is worth the performance sacrifices. Moreover, time of arrival and prices are completely unknown as well.
