Asus UL20FT thin and light netbook to ship in August
The Asus UL20FT is a 3.3 laptop with a 12.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display. First discovered in May, it looks like the new model will start next month. Excaliber PC taking preorders for the Asus UL20FT-A1. It is to go for $ 579, and says the store should arrive around 6 August 2010.
The new Asus notebook is a successor of the Asus UL20A, which I reviewed last year. While the two laptops are pretty much the same size and the two ships with Windows 7 Home Basic, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drives, there is one crucial difference. The Asus UL20A comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor CULV, while the UL20FT has a new 1.2GHz Intel Core i3-330UM CPU.
I have not had the chance to test a system with the Core-i3 330UM CPU yet, but it should be a bit of a speed boost and consumes less memory available like the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE.
Rounding out the specifications for the new notebooks are three USB ports, microphone and headphone ports, a 0.3MP webcam, a 5-in-1 card reader, 802.11b g n WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet. The laptop comes with a 6-cell, 4400mAh battery and measures 11.8″ x 8.4″ x 1″.
