    The second Envy Spectre looks even better than the first.

  • Asus UX32Vd with Nvidia GPU and UX32A ultrabooks to be released soon for $800 and up

    The UX32Vd and 32A will most likely not be as light as the UX31, but they will be cheaper and snappier.
    35

    It has taken the guys at Asus a while to come up with their second generation ultrabooks, but now that they did it’s practically impossible for anyone else to beat them. And that’s because, aside from the UX31A and 21A, leaked a few hours...

    Now that the first ultrabook wave, featuring such products as the Asus Zenbook UX31, the Lenovo U300S or the Toshiba Portege Z835, is pretty much history, it’s time to concentrate on the second wave, started with the unveilings of Acer’s S5, M3 and M5,...
