Viewsonic’s new CULV ViewBook Pro can house either an optical drive or a second battery, giving this thin 13.3″ notebook some serious battery life.
Other specs for the notebook include an Intel Core 2 SU7300 CPU, and 2GB of RAM (upgradable to 4GB). The 13.3″ portable laptop is housed in a fairly slim aluminum enclosure, and the regular battery is rated to last 8 hours. With the secondary battery housed in the optical drive slot, the battery life jumps up to 12 hours. You can choose to use neither the battery nor the optical drive to save weight.
There will be a silver model (Pro S) available with a DVD burner for $1,099 and a black model (Pro B) without an optical drive included for $999. Read more…
