ASUS UL30 CULV Shows Up On Amazon [ASUS' New CULV Netbook Features 1.3Ghz processor, 4GB of DDR3, 512MB VRAM]

ASUS new refreshed UL30 model was quietly added to Amazon.com with little fanfare. The refresh, officially model ASUS UL30Vt-A1, is a new ultraportable notebook from ASUS that features more power and screen size than the very popular netbook market.

The specs of the new UL30 are as follows, an Intel Core 2 Duo chip clocked at 1.3GHz, a whopping 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and NVIDIA G210M graphics with 512MB of VRAM. For an operating system, ASUS included 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. All of this is under a 13-inch display.

The original ASUS UL30 model (UL30Vt-X1 – for those keeping score at home) was pretty well reviewed, with tech blog Engadget calling it “the CULV machine to get”, and so this UL30 refresh is being somewhat anticipated. You’ll note the notebook sort of borrows some styling queues from the current generation MacBook Pro – if you notice that sort of thing. No word on when they’ll ship, but you can pre-order one now for $849.
