ASUSTek introduced their new addition to the U series. Of course with anything that is newer, the U2 is sexier, sleeker, and tougher. Here is what the press release has to say: “The U2 is designed and crafted to the highest levels of luxury, a bona fide lifestyle accessory that is yet infinitely useful and versatile. The luxury feast extends to the very chassis itself. A unity of form and function, screen and keyboard are joined seamlessly at the polished plated hinge whose design is inspired by that of luxury cufflinks. Hand polished stainless steel frame and copper etch detailing exist in sublime harmony with premium leather, creating an interplay of warmth and cool high-tech aesthetic that mirrors the principle of perfection attained from visual and tactile balance. ”
Here are the specs:
- Intel Centrino Processor Technology
- Intel Core Duo Processor ULV U7500
- Mobile Intel GM965 Express Chipset
- Intel Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN
- Microsoft Windows Vista
- 11.1-inch WXGA 1366 x 768 LED backlight
- 80G/100G/120G PATA 1.8-inch 4200rpm HDD, 32G SSD
- 2 SO-Dimm socket for expansion up to 4096MB, DDRII-667 DRAM support
- 3x USB, 1x VGA, 1x LAN, 1x Phone, 1x micro-DVI
- 27.7 x 19.4 x 2.49-2.9 cm, 1.25kg with SSD, 1.28kg with HDD
One of the disappointing things about the U2 is that it only has a 4200rpm, which is low for a high-end laptop.
