ASUS UX30 CULV tested

SlashGear have carried out a brief review of Asus’ new ultraportable UX30, part of their new upcoming notebook line. No definite price or release date has been announced yet, however it is expected to retail at a price that will maybe be its major downfall.

The Asus ultraportable UX30 runs a Intel CULV processor the entry level processor runs at 1.3GHz, it has 2GB of Ram and GMA X4500MHD graphics, the UX30 laso has a 13.3” display and HDMI-out.

According to the review on SlashGear the notebooks performance is good and the HD video playback was adequate, however gaming is not an option. The ultraportable UX30 only weighs 3.5lbs therefore it lives up to its “ultraportable” tag. One problem with the notebook is that it only has a 3-cell battery, this allows just shy of 4 hours 30 minutes runtime.

There are some design related annoyances, the notebook uses port covers which while do make it look tidier make access to the ports annoying, also the Ethernet port is said to be very close to the palm rest which can be frustrating if your plugged into your LAN.
