Asus to launch Ultra-Thin UX series laptop in aluminium alloy case

Asus is preparing to introduce a new UX series laptop at Computex and it is quite a looker.

Clad in a needle-thin aluminium alloy case whose profile evokes a sweeping second hand, the UX Series is both tough and light — the case is a mere 3mm at its thinnest point and weighs just 1.1kg.

The hinges on the lid are reinforced and the notebook is only 17mm thick. The UX notebooks will use second generation Intel Core processors up the Core i7 line and the machines will also use SATA 6Gb/s SSDs inside with the Instant on Feature to resume the notebook in seconds.

The UX series uses an aluminum alloy shell with a unique spun finish on the polished surfaces.
