ASUS leaps ahead with Core 2 Duo

Darius Chang | Aug 08, 2006

Even as desktop Core 2 Duo systems are being primed at the starting line, ASUS leaps ahead with the announcement of its first Core 2 Duo notebook.

Billed as a corporate machine, the ASUS V1J comes with high-end components and an equally impressive price tag. Sporting a 1.83GHz T5600 Core 2 Duo chip, the ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 graphics chip should also appease those looking for a portable gaming platform. However, it does not forget its roots as an business machine, as a docking station is available as an option.

For those looking to stand at the cusp of portable computing excellence, be prepared to shell out S$3,398 (US$2,235.53) at the third week of September to own the coolest, and possibly the fastest, notebook in town.

As far as I know, T5600 is a Core 2 Solo with 1 x 2MB L2 cache. The Core 2 variants are T7x00 series with 2 x 2MB L2 cache. But this notebook looks really cool! I hope a T7x00 variant will also be released.
