Back in June, we got a bit of a sneak peek of the Asus Zenbook UX32VD ultrabook that came with a dedicated graphics card, a NVidia GT620M.
Though it is a few millimeters thicker than the previous UX31A, it still looks much thinner than many other ultrabooks because of the tapered edge.
The UX21 on top with the UX31VD below it.
To make the price of the ultrabook near the SRP of the original one, Asus had to switch some parts, like the use of a Hybrid Drive (500GB + 24GBSSD) allowing users to be able to install more large-sized games into the system.
Asus Zenbook UX32VD specs:
13.3″ LED @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel Core i5-3317U 1.70GHz
NVidia GT620M 1GB DDR3 VRAM

The keyboard on this unit has been improved and added a back-light. Same goes with the trackpad (it used to suck a bit on the old models).
The Zenbook UX32VD is now in stores and retails for about Php59,990.
roam around to check for ux31a, I saw the ux32vd instead, and it is confirmed, ux32vd here does not come with the full hd ips display..also, saw at fb ux31a will be selling at retail of almost 70k..
abe maybe you can ask them (Asus) next time, why the higher price, and why the limited line up?
