ASUS UX31A and UX21A Zenbooks Use Ivy Bridge CPUs




We don't know when ASUS will release the ultrabooks equipped with Intel's new central processing units, but everything else about them somehow made it to the net.

The folks at The Verge scraped together the relevant details pertaining to the Zenbook UX31A and UX21A.

These two are powered by the Ivy Bridge central processing units (CPUs) that, some feel, Intel should have launched by now.

Nonetheless, the processors are still unavailable, which means that ASUS won't start selling these two products before they show up.

It also means that there is no set availability date at the moment, even though the prices are known.

Speaking of which, the UX31A and UX21A will sell for $1,050 and $1,100, respectively, which translates into 800.42 Euro and 838.54 Euro.

The specifications of the two are mostly the same, with only the matte screens as a differing quality: the former measures 13.3 inches, while the latter has an 11.6-inch panel.

Customers will get to select between a regular LCD or an IPS display, which has better brightness (350 nits instead of 300).

The resolution is of 1,600 x 900 pixels on the UX31A, and 1,366 x 768 pixels on the UX21A.

Moving on, the processor is a dual-core Intel Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 from the 17W TDP low-voltage Ivy Bridge collection.

That means that the clock frequencies are of 1.8 GHz to 2.8 GHz (2.6 GHz/ 2 GHz Turbo Boost on the Core i5 and Core i7 models).

As for everything else, ASUS tossed in 2 GB or 4 B DDR3L RAM (1,600 MHz, 1.35V), a SATA III solid state drive (up to 256 GB, or maybe even 512 GB), Bluetooth 3.0, Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) media streaming technology, an SDXC card reader, USB 3.0 (two ports), Micro HDMI and a backlit keyboard.

Finally, the battery power will be of six to seven hours on the UX31A, and five on the smaller UX21A.
