ASUS has finally offered a clue as to when we might be able to get our hands on the long-awaited UX21 Ultrabook it first unveiled at the Computex tradeshow in Taipei earlier this year.

In a teaser page on the new Asus UX-series sub-site, the company is running a countdown to an event in New York on the 11th of October which, it is believed, will mark the official launch of its UX series of Ultrabook products.

The Asus UX21 Specs Features a 11.6 inches display screen size with a sloping design that is 7mm at the back and tapers to 3mm at the front. Weight of the UX21 is only around 2.2lb.

The Asus UX21 runs on Intel Core i5-2557M (1.7GHz) processor (up to Core i7). Another feature that is owned by The Asus UX21 are two USB ports USB 3.0, mini-DisplayPort, mini-HDMI port, a storage capacity of 64GB or 128GB, a glass touchpad and metal chiclet keys. Another advantage possessed by the Asus UX21 is the ability to wake up after idle in just 2 seconds.


As for price, the new laptops have apparently been priced in France: the UX21's starting price is said to be €799 (about $1100), with the UX31 starting at €999 (about $1350). This is roughly in line with what Apple and others are charging for machines in this form factor, though we'll have to wait to see what the official prices are in all territories.
