Viewsonic VNB141 offers ultraportable design with an optical drive and the VNB132 isn't that shabby either.
Viewsonic has been peddling HDTV, computer displays, and digital picture frames for years all around the world. Over the last few months, the company has quietly started turning itself into a computer company as well with new ultraportables that have started to turn up. The most recent additions to the Viewsonic line of ultraportables are the new
VNB141 and VNB132 machines.
The VNB141 is a 14-inch ultraportable using an Intel ULV SU7300 Core 2 Duo processor. The little rig also runs Windows 7 Premium and has 2GB of RAM. Storage is to a 250GB HDD and the machine packs in WiFi, VGA out, HDMI out, and a 1.3-megapixel webcam along with an optical drive.
The smaller VNB132 features a 13.3-inch LCD, Intel ULV SU2300 Celeron processor, Windows 7 Home Premium, 320GB HDD, and 2GB of RAM. The smallish machine has WiFi, three USB ports, a memory card reader, plus VGA and HDMI out. It's nice to see an optical drive on the 14-inch machine, that feature is rare today.
