Coming from Engadget, news of the upcoming UL30Vt-X1 version of the 13.3 inch ASUS UL30/UL80 laptop series. This fully-fledged fully-supported 100% compatible Linux laptop has seen great reports on the Intel GMA UL30 version and the nvidia 14 inch UL80 version. This 13.3 inch intel/nvidia hybrid graphics (switchable graphics) UL30Vt-X1 looks to be a hit among ultra-thin laptop Linux users. This laptop, with its Penryn-3M ultra-low-voltage 10W power-sipping processor, is going to provide a great compromise between graphics processing power and battery performance, still being one of the lightlest laptops with full Linux compatibility.
