Local Australian notebook supplier, Pioneer Computers, has just announced two new ultrabooks, with prices starting from an impressive $AU499.

The new Pioneer DreamBook UltraSlim U13 features a new 2.13GHz Cedar Trail-class “Centrino Atom” N2700 dual-core processor. At this stage, we don’t know too much about this chip’s performance levels although we suspect it’s better than the N570 but not as good as a Core i3.

The new model features a 13.3-inch widescreen panel with 1366×768-pixel resolution, along with 2GB of DDR3-1333 RAM and a 320GB hard drive. You also get More >
