Those 45nm Intel Celeron 743 and SU2300 CPUs we’ve been seeing on spreadsheets and roadmaps may have found themselves a home with ASUS, if this DigiTimes report has any weight to it. According to the outlet, two new ultrathin portables powered by the aforementioned processors are set to launch on September 7th, with the first markets to get shipments being Taiwan, China, and Europe. Details are scarce beyond that and there’s no mention of price, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit the $700 mark up to maybe even $1,000. Other sources say MSI and Acer will be making announcements of their own ultrathin laptops not too long after. September 7th is mighty soon, so part of us wonders if “launch” here is simply an unveiling, but in either case if there is something going on in a week, we can’t imagine we’ll get through the next few days without new factoids trickling out in the open.
