To our knowledge (so we could be totally wrong here, but we like to take chances), this is the first real ultra (compact notebook) that is boosted with a Core Duo (or Solo, depending on the configuration). MSI releases this MS-1057 in Japan, and it should be available with a T2000 CPU (so a Duo) or a T1000 (a Solo). There are 2 DDR2 667 memory slots that can hold a max of 2GB of RAM, it has a 12.1″ 1280×800 screen, Audio HD (Dolby Home Theater), a DL and RAM DVD burner, ExpressCard and you also get a (feeble) 1.5h of battery life with the 2200mAh battery or if you opt for the 4400mAh one, you get 4 hours. All this kit is squeezed into a 303×225x26mm and 1.9kg package.
