Asus ultra portable-thin U36 notebook

ASUS's ultra portable laptop will finally grace folks in the UK market. If you'll recall, the 13.3-inch U36's stand out features include a svelte 19mm thickness, standard voltage i5 processor, NVIDIA Optimus graphics, and a USB 3.0 toggle (for an estimated 11.5 hour battery life). The hardware seems chunky now that we've played with the company's UX21 ultrathin, but with a price of £699 (just over $1,200) it's hard to complain much. If your palms are beginning to sweat in excitement, it's available at Micro Anvika today in your choice of black or silver, and should be at Comet by the end of the month. You'll find even more details in the PR that just so happens to be waiting after the break.

The  £699 or US $1200  model will include the following:
13.3-inch display (1366x768 resolution)
Intel Core i5-460M dual-core processor (2.53GHz; 2.80GHz Turbo Boost; 3MB cache)
Nvidia GeForce G310M graphics with 1GB of memory
4GB system RAM
500GB 7200RPM hard drive
