Viewsonic isn’t quite our go-to for excellent PC design just yet, but its new VNB131 ViewBook Pro is a surprisingly decently attractive alternative to the usual ULV fare from the likes of Acer and ASUS. Maybe it’s just that touch of “1999″ in the aluminum curves and accents that we’re finding ourselves suddenly drawn to. Outside of the looks, the VNB131 is mostly pretty stock ULV: there’s an Intel ULV SU7300 Core 2 Duo processor, 320GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, a DVD burner, HDMI, VGA, 802.11n and a 7-in-1 card reader. Interestingly, however, you can swap out the DVD drive for an extra 3 cell battery, which in conjunction with the stock 6 cell should offer up to 12 hours of battery life. We’re sure you sacrifice a bit on weight and thickness for that luxury, and the price isn’t best-in-class either at $949. Still, it’s not bad for a company that’s still thinks it’s pulling one over on people by trying to rip the “MacBook Pro” below-screen lettering. It’s available now, wherever ViewBooks are sold. Check out another shot of the laptop after the break, along with some fancy PR.
