Ultraportable or Netbook?

Last week, Asus made the U24e official in Japan. While the US release date was no where mentioned, it surely did pump us up. After all, how many ultraportables about the size of Asus u24e pack a Core i7 processor which is not ULV (ultra low voltage). According to the forum report, this notebook is supposed to be launched on November 6th for ¥59,800, or about $760, but the US price could well be lower when this netbook hits US mainland.
