14 DAY TRIAL // We've seen the ultrabook from Lesance and, now, we get to look at another, decently-priced model, one that is similarly restricted to a single country, albeit a different one.
For those who haven't read about it just yet, the new ultrabook from Lesance is only selling in Japan and has a price of $725, or 543 Euro.
With that for comparison, Novatech's model is actually more appealing, having a tag of 429.98 British pounds, which is just $687 / 515 Euro.
Considering that the “average” ultrabooks price has been $1,000 / 750 Euro so far, that's a really big deal.
The CPU that runs the Novatech nFinity, as the ultrabook is called, bears the name of Intel Core i3-2367M.
It is a dual-core with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and a cache memory of 3 MB (no Turbo Boost this time).
It is also possible to select a stronger CPU, although it will add to the price, obviously.
The list includes Intel Core i5-2467M (1.6 GHz, up to 2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost) and Intel Core i7-2637M (1.7 GHz to 2.8 GHz with Turbo Boost).
After deciding on the CPU, prospective buyers will get 2 or 4 GB of RAM (random access memory) and a solid state drive (SSD) of 64 or 128 GB.
Furthermore, the laptop gets Bluetooth, three USB 2.0 ports, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, network support and two 1.5W speakers, plus HDMI.
Finally, the battery is supposed to last for up to 7 hours on a single charge, which is better than the one in Lesance's product.
Those who live in the UK only need to drop by this page and select whichever version of the nFinity strikes them as most appealing. We can't say for sure when other markets will get the ultrabook, but at least it is a sign that PC makers really are moving closer to a new mainstream price for these things.
