Asus Zenbook UX21A and UX31A go to Intel on 22 nm

Asus Zenbook UX21A and UX31A little brother are among the first models ultrabook that they switch to a new computing platform Ivy Bridge, led by ultra-efficient Intel processors made ​​using 22 nm manufacturing process.






Improved versions of the UX21 and UX31 series Zenbook promise autonomy and improved performance while providing a set of interesting features.

Both models receive a matte finish screens, more comfortable to use in well-lit, and the top end make the transition to full HD resolution. New screen resolution 1920x1080 pixels using IPS technology are available for both the 13.3-inch diagonal and UX31A and 11.6-inch diagonal UX21A version. 350 cd/m2 brightness touch screen types for IPS and 300 cd/m2 LCD version if you opt for the budget, in which case resolution is limited to 1600x900 pixels 1366x768 pixels and UX31A UX21A model.


Ivy Bridge processors are installed in low-voltage supply from Intel, the models from the Core i3 and i7 processors with TDP of only 17W consumption:

Core i7-3517U, dual-core processor with HyperThreading, 4MB L3 cache, Turbo Boost 3GHz max speed
Core i5-3317U, dual-core processors with HyperThreading, 3MB L3 cache, Turbo Boost 2.6GHz max speed
Core i3-3217U, dual-core processor with HyperThreading, 3MB L3 cache, 1.8GHz (without Turbo Boost)
RAM installed in quantities of 2 GB or 4 GB RAM DDR3L type is being able to operate at a frequency of 1600 MHz reasonable than using a low voltage to 1.35V (1.5V for a way to DDR3 average). The resulting energy savings bring a little extra in terms of autonomy. Also to maximize energy efficiency, traditional hard drive gives way to a device interface SATA III SSD, available in versions with 256 GB and 512 GB storage capacity.

To accelerate 3D and video playback are provided our core Intel HD Graphics 4000.

Asus weighs 1.3 Kg Zenbook UX31A, measuring 18.3 mm thick and is expected to arrive in stores at a price of about $ 1,100.

11.6-inch screen version, Zenbook UX21A, weighs 1.1 kg and measures 17 mm thick. The selling price is also slightly lower, reaching $ 1,050.

Asus did not release a precise launch, but we expect to see new models in stores shortly after the official launch of the new platform Ivy Bridge, to be presented by Intel during the month of June.

2 GB or 4 GB RAM.

Really? What's the point of upgrading the CPUs when RAM capacity is next to useless.

Absolutely pointless.

Nice Shoot... Another nice article...
