Asus has a new ultra portable coming out soon that should fit in nicely between their current Eee PC netbook and Zenbook offerings. Called the Asus U24E, it features a 1366 x 768 pixel display, An Intel Core i5-2430M processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 750GB hard drive. It will weigh 3.3 pounds and will likely be priced much less than the Asus Zenbook UX21.
The UX21 is what Asus calls an ultrabook, which is a fancy of way of saying it weighs less than 3 pounds and measures less than 0.8 inches thick. Oh yeah, and it has a solid state disk instead of a hard drive. It also has a starting price of $999. The Asus U24E, on the other hand, is expected to launch in Japan for 59,800 Yen. That’s about $766 US, which will likely translate to $699 or less when it hits the States.
The U24E looks like the successor to the Asus UL20 line of notebooks and should compare to your desktop computer performance wise thanks to its Core I5 processor.
