Asus is on a roll today. It’s just unveiled the Asus UL50 ultraportable laptop, with non-netbook specs but a very netbook stamina: it’s good for 12 hours of juice at a time. Read on for all the info.
Asus has just outed its new line up of portable PCs, and top of the range is the tasty 15.6-inch Asus UL50 series. The likely UK bound Asus UL50 weights in at just 2.1kg, but will go for up to half a day with an 8-cell battery bolted in, plus 4GB of RAM, an Intel CULV 1.3GHz processor and 250/320/500GB hard drive options.
We’ve got our eyes on the higher end Asus UL50VG model though, toting up to 8 gigs of RAM and dedicated NVIDIA graphics that can be flicked off to save battery life.
OK, so epic battery life is something every netbook maker promises these days, and Nokia’s even claiming the full 12 with the Booklet 3G, but the Asus UL50 is a full blown laptop, with screen size, respectable RAM and optical drive to prove it.
We’re chasing UK details for the Asus UL50 line now, but expect to see them appear in stores along with Windows 7 next month.

Cool…12 hrs of battery life. Any idea how much will it cost?
