ASUS has released last month samples of the Z62F, the first Intel Core DUO barebone / whitebox notebook available to the public.

The unit boasts dramatically improved processing performance and multitasking capabilities, better energy efficiency, and a longer battery life. It also fully supports Intel’s interchangeability initiative. Units will be available for purchase at ASUS distributors before the end of February. (asus.com)
