ASUS UL30Vt Notebook Announced With Discrete Graphics

Tweet

Folks from ASUS have added to their UL30 laptop lineup with the new ASUS UL30Vt. Expected to be available on the market soon, just in time for Christmas, the new UL30Vt notebook has managed to combine some serious specs together with the good looks of a robust brushed aluminum exterior, which won’t let anyone down.

A lightweight, 1-inch thick new model in the UL30 series, ASUS UL30Vt delivers a 13.3-inch HD (1366×768) Color-Shine (Glare-type) display, packs an Intel 1.4 GHz Core2 Duo processor which can be overclocked, or a Celeron at 1.2 GHz if you want it cheaper, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, up to 500GB of storage and the new ASUS Turbo 33 technology that promises up to 33% faster performance.

There’s also Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11 b/g/n), a 4 in 1 card reader (SD,MMC,MS,MS-Pro) and optional Bluetooth V2.1+EDR.

Other than that, the things that certainly got our attention are the option for a dedicated graphics card — the NVIDIA GeForce G 210M with 512 MB VRAM, and the improved battery that promises “all-day computing”, which translates to almost 12 hours of work time.

There’s no word on pricing yet, but it is likely to be priced somewhere close to its predecessor, the UL30′s, which retails for $749.
