Asustek set to launch ultra-thin notebooks using new Intel CPUs
Asustek Computer plans to launch two new ultra-thin notebooks using Intel's upcoming 45nm Celeron 743 and SU2300 CPUs on September 7, 2009, according to industry sources.
The new models will initially ship to areas including Taiwan, China and Europe.
Intel's Celeron 743 and SU2300 CPUs are priced at US$107 and US$134 in thousand-unit tray quantities, respectively, and both target the entry-level market.
Micro-Star International (MSI) and Acer will follow suit to announce their new ultra-thin notebooks soon after, the sources noted.
In additional news, Asustek president Jerry Shen recently noted that ultra-thin models will account for 10-20% of the company's total notebook shipments in the third quarter of 2009.
