14 DAY TRIAL // Just like the majority of the world's biggest laptop vendors, ViewSonic is also planning to expand its line of portable computer systems with the introduction of a new line of ViewBook PCs, designed to provide consumers with a choice for an ultraportable, ultra-thin laptop that boasts Intel's already famous CULV platform. The new lineup is expected to be launched by the end of this month, and will be available in a range of form factors, starting with the increasingly popular 12.1-inch and going all the way up to 14-inch.
The specific technical details of the new laptops aren't yet available, but according to available info they will all be pre-loaded with Microsoft's fresh new operating system, the much-appreciated Windows 7 OS, and its Home Premium version. Powered by Intel's latest CULV processors, all models are expected to boast at least 2GB of RAM, coupled with a hard drive that should deliver a minimum of 320GB of storage capacity.
All new ViewBook laptops, which include the 12.1-inch ViewBook 120, the 13.3-inch VB 130 and VB Pro, and the 13-inch VB 140, will be featured with LED-backlit screens and will become available with a screen resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. From all the new models, Viewsonic had decided to feature the 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro with an aluminum enclosure and a built-in optical DVD writer. Unfortunately, this is pretty much everything we know about this latest lineup at this time.
All of the new ViewBook laptops are expected to make their debut by the end of this month, or October 30th, to be more specific. Price wise, you are looking at systems that come with a starting US$679, US$769, US$1,016 and US$1,077, for the VB Pro with the built-in optical drive.
