Asus 13" Laptop?

Does anyone know if Asus is planning on bringing over a 13" widescreen to North America. I've seen them listed on sites in other countries (W6a) but not here. It seems like the ideal size...not too small and not too large. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Right now Asus is not bringing in the 13.3" W6 model in either the current/old 915 chipset...... or the new/future 945 chipset...... eventually it may come in, but there's nothing on the roadmap and that's good for out to about six months down the line.

In about 2 months we'll have a 13" called the Z35f on the custom side.... it's not exactly a W6, but it's going to use the same screen and basic features...... just a different chassis.

 

I didnt know they were gonna have a 13.3in whitebook do you have any pics. and will it have the 945 chipset and support core duo? any info would be great. Will it have bluetooth? and will it look as horrible as the new replacement whitebook for the z63a.

 

I can't release any of those pictures technically..... but the model name is the Z35f and a google might produce something for you. I would say it too is semi boring.... but better looking than the Z62f in my opinion...... more like the look of the current Z33ae...... but without the aluminum touchpad or the nice silver trim ring around the edge..


Also... it's no secret, but ALL custom and ensemble models for this coming year state that bluetooth should be standard on every one.

 

intergraded graphics for z35f?

 

Yes..... you're not going to see dedicated graphics in anything under 14" that Asus puts out...... and basically only in one or two 14" models period.

 

will there be a turion version of the z35f or anyone of the build on/ensemble? I know there is a turion version of the W3v with lesser graphics...

 

At this point I don't actually think so....... we're still trying to bring in the Z3z --- which would be the Z63z here in the states........Basically the same chassis as the current Z63a, but with the turion cpu.

 

any idea what the chipset/socket will be for the Z63z?

 

There is a big IF on the notebook in terms of coming to the US anyway..... but go look at the global site under W3Z...... there is only one turion socket and chipset at this point...... it would have integrated graphics.
