Sotec has announced the Sotec WinBook WS334 and WS334B ultraportable notebooks. These are not to be confused with the WinBook notebooks that are produced/sold in North America (although they may work together). It is powered by a Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6GHz) CPU, has a 12.1-inch non-widescreen display, and weighs in at around 3.5 pounds (with an internal optical drive no less).
The ASUS S6F, the luxury ultraportable notebook in ASUS’ lineup, is set to go on sale next month for around $3000 USD, according to Reg Hardware.
Summary: March 2006, 11.1″ Widescreen, Intel Core Duo Low Voltage
The ASUS W5F is mentioned in a chipset shootout/review on MobilityGuru, where they compare the New Inte Core Duo 945GM chipset versus the older Centrino 915GM chipset. The W5F is an ultraportable Intel Core Duo based notebook, and it was mentioned/chosen because it’s very similiar to the ASUS W5A, based on the 915GM Chipset. Very, very, close as a matter of fact.
