Asus launches UnLimited range of laptops with 12-hour battery life

Posted on 9 Oct 2009 at 12:14

Another day, another announcement of a laptop manufacturer launching a new thin-and-light range which uses Intel's new CULV (ultra-low voltage) processors.

The UnLimited - or UL - series will come in two different screen sizes (13.3in and 15.6in) with a classy brushed aluminium case. The smaller model - the UL30 - will cost £599 including VAT, but will also be available for free (just like Dell's new CULV-based Inspiron 11z) by taking out a contract at Carphone Warehouse.

The larger-screened models, the UL50AG and UL50VG will cost £699 and £799 respectively, with the latter getting a dedicated graphics card. Both will have DVD writers, while the UL30 won't.

Asus claims that all models will last 12 hours between charges, which would make the UL series the longest-lasting laptops currently available. Of course, we're keen to test out these claims and will report back on the results as soon as we can.

Standard features across the range include Windows 7, a multi-touch touchpad, Altec Lansing speakers, a Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor, plus a light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness. Asus' usual two-year collect and return warranty is also standard. All models will be available from 22nd October.
