Asus U47

Asus U47

The Asus U47 is one of the upcoming laptops with Ivy Bridge Intel processors. The aluminum-cladded U47 belongs to the thin-and-light U-series and is a successor of the U46, retaining thin LCD bezel. The shape of the 3-pound Asus U47 has changed and it ditches hinge-forward design. The next-gen model is slightly thinner and measures 1 inch versus previous 1.08. Besides 3rd generation Intel Core processors, the new Asus will sport up to 1TB of hard drive storage, built-in optical drive, and an 8-hour battery.

Design of Asus N6 N46, N56, N76 Series

This is how design of the Asus N6 N46, N56, and N76 Series looks like.

Besides the gaming G5 series, Asustek had on the 2012 CES show the Asus N6 multimedia-oriented laptops on display.

As same as the G5, the N6 will be based on the 3rd-generation Intel Core Ivy Bridge processors. The notebooks will be offered with the Ivy Bridge Core i5 and i7, Nvidia GeForce 500-series GPUs (not 600-series?), and optional Blu-ray optical drives. They will be delivered in three screen sizes, like the current N5 with 14″ N45, 15.6″ N55, and 17.3″ N75. According to the naming scheme for the N series, their model names will be Asus N46, N56, and N76.

Asus G75, G55 Gaming Laptops Coming in April

Like many computer-related sites, we’ve missed to report about the new Asus G5 Republic of Gamers (ROG) series gaming laptops which will be called the Asus G75 and G55 if they don’t digress from the naming scheme.

The 17.3″ Asus G75 and 15.6″ Asus G55 were captured in two separate videos at 2012 CES. Both notebooks will come with the Intel Ivy Bridge processors, officially called 3rd Generation Intel Core, and Nvidia’s next-gen GeForce “Kepler” gaming-class GPUs. It’s not exactly known which GeForce video card models will be used in the G75 and G55. The current G-series Asus laptops don’t come with the top-of-the-line Nvidia GTX 580M, so there’s a possibility that the G75/G55 won’t include the most powerful GPU option from the upcoming GeForce lineup either. (Note: If we understood the translation of a ComputerBase.de article correctly, the laptops will come with the GeForce GTX 670M.)

ASUS Eee PC R051BX AMD Fusion Netbook Quietly Released

ASUS Eee PC R051BX

This is the ASUS Eee PC R051BX 10.1" Netbook.

Asus has quietly released the Asus Eee PC R051BX, a budget 10.1″ netbook with an AMD processor and HDMI output.

The R051BX has the first generation AMD Fusion C-series C-50 1GHz dual-core processing unit with integrated Radeon graphics and full HD video decoder. The downsides of this laptop are RAM and battery. The memory size is 1GB and it’s solidered on the motherboard, so RAM on this netbook is not upgradeable. The battery is a 3-cell unit, without 6-cell option. The R051BX has only two USB ports, a webcam, and media card reader, besides HDMI.

Asus K53E-BBR4 Laptop Offers 2nd Gen Core i5 for $450

The 15.6″ Asus K53E-BBR4 is another example of a big laptop price fall. The model costs only $450 and packs the Intel Core i5-2430M “Sandy Bridge” processor. The Asus K53E-BBR4 is even cheaper than the Samsung RC512 Black Friday laptop deal, which seemed very tempting itself a week ago.

For comparison, the fastest available “Sandy Bridge” Pentium laptop CPU – the B950 scores 1,993, while the 2.2GHz Core i3-2330M without TurboBoost capability is ranked with 2,805 marks.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101-X1 for $250 on Black Friday

Best Buy’s flagship tablet offer for Black Friday this year is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101-X1.

Differences between the TF101-A1, regulary sold for $400, and the TF101-X1 are currently unknown.
