Word of another seven CULV processors in Intel's thin-and-light CPU range has leaked, with the new chips expected to arrive in early Q4 2009 in time with Windows 7. Full specifications of the chips are unknown - in fact we don't even know what clock speed they each run at - but they do slot into the existing SU2x00, SU4x00 and SU7x00 ranges.

Intel prepping seven CULV chips for Q4 launch
By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 24th 2009 No CommentsSlashGear Week in Review – Week 34 2009
By Shane McGlaun on Sunday, Aug 23rd 2009 No CommentsHere we go again with another week in review for your perusal. A mystery Android-powered MID tipped up this week looking very much like those renderings of the Apple tablet to my eyes. It’s cool to see android showing up on so many devices. Logitech unveiled an update to the coolest racing wheel ever, the G25, called simply enough the G27. The new wheel promises more accurate force feedback effects and keeps with the slick clutch and gated shifter we loved from the G25.
ASUS Eee Keyboard, Ion-toting Eee Top & Eee Box get dated; MSI Yukon & Tigris notebooks too
By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 21st 2009 No CommentsASUS’ long-awaited Eee Keyboard could land as early as October, according to DigiTimes’ “industry sources”, with pricing set to hover in the $400-500 category. It will follow on from a refresh of several of ASUS’ Eee-breakaway lines, including a new Eee Top all-in-one and an Eee Box nettop, both of which will use NVIDIA’s Ion GeForce 9300M GPU.
Acer Aspire 1410 (aka 1810T) on sale in US now
By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 21st 2009 1 CommentAcer’s latest ultraportable notebook, the Aspire 1410 – the US version of the Timeline 1810T – has shown up for sale at CostCentral. Priced at a reasonable $460.33, the 11.6-inch 1,366 x 768 notebook packs an Intel CULV 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor and 2GB of RAM into a slimline casing strikingly similar to that of the Acer Aspire One 751h we reviewed yesterday.
MSI X-Slim X340 gets new 8hr+ battery, stiffer keyboard, cheaper price
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Aug 19th 2009 No CommentsIt’s perhaps a fact of life that with age comes a paunch, but who would’ve thought the MSI X-Slim X340 would go from toned ultraportable to tubby laptop so quickly? The company have been showing off their updated model, which gets a girth increase thanks to a new, extended 8-cell battery intended to address complaints about poor runtimes.
Dell Inspiron 11z 11.6-inch CULV ultraportable hits $399 price point
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Aug 18th 2009 No CommentsDell may have canned their Inspiron Mini 12, but they’ve replaced it with a new CULV ultraportable in the shape of the Inspiron 11z. The new notebook has an 11.6-inch display running at 1,366 x 768, paired with Intel’s Celeron 723 1.2GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard-drive. Thanks to stepping up to CULV rather than Intel’s Atom range, the 11z gets past the CPU/storage limitations the chip company insists upon; that should mean buyers get a more capable ultraportable for their money.
Advent Altro bargain CULV notebook takes on MacBook Air
By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 17th 2009 No CommentsUK retailer Dixons is preparing its own MacBook Air rival for the holiday shopping season, in the shape of the Advent Altro. The 13.3-inch CULV ultraportable measures 21mm thick and weighs 1.6kg, and packs 3GB of RAM and an Intel Celeron processor. Unlike the Air, however, the Altro will start at just £600 ($987; the Air retails from £1,149 in the UK).
Lenovo IdeaPad U450p on sale now: 14-inch CULV ultraportable
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Aug 12th 2009 No CommentsHaving teased us mercilessly back in July with the banner for their IdeaPad U450p, Lenovo have finally put the 14-inch CULV ultraportable up for sale. Kicking off from $799, the U450p has a choice of Intel 1.3GHz Pentium SU2700 or 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500 processors and up to 4GB of DDR3 memory.
MSI X-Slim X600 gets reviewed: decent GPU and super-skinny chassis
By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 10th 2009 No CommentsWith official photos, full specifications, an unboxing and demo video behind us, all that’s left for MSI’s X-Slim X600 – before a post eventually saying it’s been retired, of course – is a full review. Happily LaptopMag are on hand to deliver just that, putting the 15.6-inch CULV ultraportable through its paces to see if it’s more than just good looks or falls flat like its smaller X340 sibling.
Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T shows up in wild
By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 7th 2009 No CommentsAcer’s Aspire Timeline 1810T ultraportable has begun to show up in the wild, with at least two sites – ITC.ua and PCHome.net – getting their hands on the CULV ultraportable. As you might expect, first impressions are that – in terms of the hardware you can see – the 1810T is very similar to the Acer Aspire One 751 it in effect replaces; unfortunately there’s no benchmarking feedback as yet to prove whether the ultraportable runs better than its lethargic predecessor.
