Hot on the heels of Acer's S3 pricing and availability announcement, Asus CEO Jonney Shih has taken the stage in NYC to reveal details of its newly-named Zenbook UX21 and UX31. The new name is supposed to be indicative of the "peace of mind" and "balance of elegance and power" provided by the machine; however, a new name doesn't mean a new design or product. The 11.6- and 13.3-inch Zenbooks are identical to the ones at IFA and IDF - the aluminum chassis measures .11 to .71-inches in thickness, weighs 2.9 pounds (the 11.6 weighs 2.4), the lid has an interesting halo effect, and the machine resumes from sleep in two seconds.
2DayBlog.com, Asus Zenbook UX21 and UX31 arrive on October 12th, start at $999
