ViewSonic debuts its first CULV notebook

[Matthew DeCarlo]

Today marks the launch of ViewSonic's first CULV notebook. The VNB131 ViewBook Pro carries a 13.3-inch 1280x800 LED-backlit display, a 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV SU7300 processor and GS45 chipset, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB HDD and Windows 7 Home Premium.

While its aluminum alloy chassis measures only an inch thick, ViewSonic found room for a DVD burner. The system ships with a six-sell battery that offers up to eight hours of use. That time can be extended to 12 hours by removing the optical drive and installing an additional three-cell battery. It isn't clear whether the extra battery is included, but I would presume not.

Input and output features include Ethernet, 802.11g/b/n, Bluetooth v2.0+EDR, VGA and HDMI-out, two USB 2.0 ports, and a seven-in-one card reader. The system also has dual single-watt speakers, a multitouch trackpad, and weighs about 1.64kg (3.61lbs). ViewSonic is currently selling the VNB131 ViewBook Pro online for $949, and plans to launch more ULV laptops next quarter.

In terms of styling, WOW, they did get it right, in terms of internals, they are not bad given the ULV design. Although what's up with using DDR2 memory these days on a just released laptop?
