ASUS just unveiled its 2011 UX Series, which looks a lot like a MacBook Air:
The new UX comes with a 6Gbps SATA SSD, although ASUS didn’t reveal the manufacturer of the drive or the controller inside. The SSD enables what ASUS promises will be a 2 second wake time on the notebook, a trend that you’ll hear more about later this week.

With the lid shut the new UX will last for up to 7 days in sleep mode.

How big is the Screen?And just looking at those slides, I wonder why Apple hasn't trademarked the term "Unibody "

Because even in the current idiotic patent system Apple would have a hard time trademarking a construction technique.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocoque
If they succeed I'll be next patenting plastering.

Trademark != patenthalcyon - Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - link
(TM) != (R)Apple can't (R) Unibody easily in wide enough applications to control it's usage.
Unibody (R) is already a trademark of at least Boston Scientific, TravelPro and several others in their respective domains.

apple could call it Anibody and their minions would still eat em up.beginner99 - Monday, May 30, 2011 - link
Or rather: What resolution?I bet it's gloss and crappy 1360x768

Judging by this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYtdh0Ph6O4
It is glossy as all get out. It *looks* like a standard crappy 1366x768 resolution, but it's hard to tell from the video.

Yes, super-glossy, crappy 1366x768 with bad viewing angles and light bleed.Just like all other Asus notebook displays :)

Looks like a super competitor to apples fashion hardware. It would be even sweeter if this can run apples OS. I would love to see people start buying these for 1,000's less than macs and just load apples OS onto them.Wizzdo - Monday, May 30, 2011 - link
Then we can drive the profit margins down even further so nobody can make a decent living in any country, environmental standards can be further compromised, and support can suck even worse than it already does at most companies!Great idea!
