Finally we move away from Windows 8 Ultrabooks launching at Computex and get to a good ‘old’ regular Ultrabook that’s likely to be available soon. The ASUS S-Series Ultrabooks are 14 and 15 inch with an optical disk drive. This one is aimed at productivity and multimedia. Gamers take note of the Nvidia GT630M and Altec Lansing speakers. Thickness:21mm.
Ports include VGA D-Sub, HDMi, Ethenet, USB3.0 x2, USB2.0 andcombo audio jack. Large touchpad and ‘re-tooled’ chicklet keyboard are also mentioned in the video.
At the moment we don’t have anything other than this video to go on. We don’t even know it the S-Series has been formally announced yet! We’ll update you when we get more info.
Update: Some ASUS S Series Ultrabook images.
