Wow, I like the white design. Great job Asus, the design is on par with the VAIO laptops now, and 1.2kg? Oh crap, this is light!

 

Oh and, it would even look more stunning if they made the keyboard black (plus a backlit).

I wonder what the price is for onw of these, and when will they be out. Looks like the perfect school device for me next year unless the price is too high, also I hope there is an option for a lower resolution screen because I feel like that will drive the price up even more.

 

Do you think it will have an ssd or a harddrive?

Edit - Also does anyone know how much ram this thing will have?

Isn't the Bang and Olufsen thing just going to add a premium to the price without much benefit to the end user?

I hear price will start at 799 euros, which will likely translate to $799 - Depending on the model there will be a 128GB or 256GB SSD and 4GB or 8GB of RAM. Also, there will be a 1080p version (not just 3200x1800)

I'm really impressed by the battery life being stated on these. Looking forward to what Core M brings on Apple's side as well.

 

I'm so happy they're using matte screens as well, I found glossy to be horrible when you're on the go.

Well... Uh... What else would a laptop keyboard have?

 

(Yes, I get the joke, but it kinda falls flat.)

I think that ultra books with core m can achieve more battery life. Manufacturers are just cramming in more pixels.

Tbh I'd rather have a 1080p screen on a 13 inch and have more than 12 hours of battery life
