Asus has just released their latest ultrabooks but they're calling them zenbooks. If you live in the US, they've announced and released the UX21 and UX31 which start at $999 and $1,099, respectively. The UX21 features an 11.6-inch (1,366 x 768 resolution) display while the UX31 has a 13.3-inch (1,600 x 900 resolution) display. 

Both of them sport a 128GB SSD, 4GB of RAM, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0 support, Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower, and Core i5 / i7 CPU options. They're going to be packing a 5-hour and 7-hour battery life, respectively, and that should be enough for most people. Of course, there are higher-end models which will cost you up to $1,449.

Asus' first ultrabook has just been tracked down by This Is My Next. It's pictured above and the first one is the US21 which is sporting an 11.6-inch display. There'll also be a 13.3-inch UX31 but they don't have access to that one at the moment.

Specs for this one reportedly include Intel Core i5 / i7 CPU options, a chiclet keyboard, and a 0.67-inch thin pure aluminum body which gives it a bit of weight (UX21 is 2.4 pounds, UX31 is 2.9 pounds). The build is said to be quite impressive but the ultrabook wasn't turned on so they weren't able to test the large glass trackpad. The price and release date for these are unknown right now but it might be available later this month in a few areas.

Asus started things off quick at Computex by unveiling two notebooks right away. The UX21 and Eee PC X101 has just been caught on display. The former is an ultraportable packing up to a Core i7 CPU, USB 3.0, a glass trackpad, metal keys, a 17mm thin aluminum body. The notebook itself is targeted for a September launch, the price is unknown right now. It looks quite sexy.

The other notebook is the Eee PC X101 which is a netbook. Not much is known about it right now but it's actually capable of running Windows 7 and even the MeeGo OS! It lives! Launch details for this one are unknown right now but maybe we'll find out about that shortly.
