Asus UX21 Ultrabook European Pricing Revealed

During the Computex 2011 fair, Asus promised that September will mark the introduction of the company's first Ultrabook model, the UX21, and it now seems like the laptop is finally getting ready for release as it was just spotted on a French website, which also revealed the European pricing of the unit. 

Intel defined the Ultrabook as a laptop that combines high performance, excellent responsiveness and security in a slim and elegant chassis.

All of these are paired together by Asus with some impressive hardware specifications as the UX21 is available with a wide range of Intel Sandy Bridge processors.

As a result, users can choose from quite a few low-voltage CPU models, starting with the 1.6GHz Core i5-2467M used in the model listed in France and going up to the 1.8GHz Core i7-2677M.

All of these processors have a TDP of 17W, dual processing cores, 3 or 4 MB of Level 3 cache memory and support both the Hyper-Threading and the Turbo Boost technologies.

The fast Intel CPUs can be paired with 64GB or 128GB SATA 6Gbps solid state drives, and Asus claims that the notebook can resume from a sleep state in just two seconds.

Around the edges of the UX21, users will find one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port, a mini-DisplayPort as well as a mini-HDMI connector. The UX21 display measures 11.6-inch is diagonal and is LED back-lit.

The components are housed inside a thin and light anodized aluminum uni-body chassis that measures no more than 17mm at its thickest point, while the aluminum keyboard and glass touchpad were designed to accentuate the style of the unit.

In Europe, Asus' UX21 Ultrabook is expected to start at 799 Euros (about $1085 US), which is slightly more than what Intel wanted these type of notebooks to retail for. (via Laptop Spirit)
