Asus introduces new UL series thin and light notebooks Asus just dropped the new UL Series of laptops with a 1.3GHz dual-core processor that is a Intel Consumer Ultra Low Voltage processor. Why is that good news? Increased battery life—Asus is claiming up to 12 hours of battery life in their new UL series. While battery life hardly ever matches manufacturer’s claims, a battery at 1/2 that life is still pretty good.

The UL Series also is thin and light at under 1 inch thick and weighs 3 pounds in a brushed aluminum chassis. Asus also threw in the ability to switch between an integrated graphics card and a dedicated one to keep battery life up. Unfortunately, Asus did not release the price and lists the availability as “soon.”
