14 DAY TRIAL // Intel and its partners have been going on about their many ultrabooks almost constantly, so it isn't that strange to see a new one, even if it is a model that doesn't sell worldwide.
Then again, there is every chance that the newly-spotted machine will sooner or later travel across land and sea.
Still, it will most likely be called something other than Lesance NB S3431.
That said, the Ultrabook is, like all of its peers, a light, thin mobile personal computer powered by an Intel central processing unit (CPU).
The chip in question is Core i5 2467M, a dual-core unit with a cache memory of 3MB and a frequency of 1.6GHz
That's only the base clock speed though. When Turbo Core goes into action, the maximum is 2.3 GHz.
Backing up the CPU are 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory) and a hybrid storage drive with 500 GB HDD space and 64 GB NAND Flash cache.
Since ultrabooks can't really fit two storage units that easily, we are a bit curious about why the cache is so large. Perhaps the operating system gets installed straight on it, for speed.
At any rate, in addition to the above, Lesance gave its ultrabook a pair of USB 2.0 ports, VGA, LAN, and a battery that can last for up to five hours.
That's not a very impressive length of time, although the fact that the test was made using the JEITA method means that the real duration may actually be shorter.
Finally, the 14-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) features a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, or HD (high-definition).
As we said above, only Japanese retailers have this thing up for sale, or will soon enough. The price is around $725, or 543 Euro, which is actually low for this sort of laptop, so we'd even be willing to forgive a more modest battery life.
