The imprint finish has also changed, which still makes it stand out from the crowd. It now ships with the SU7300 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo ULV processor and 3GB of DDR3 RAM. This base specifications model is available for $950
If you’re willing to shell out a little more, you can get 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 Graphics as well as an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9600 1.60GHz processor. We’re not sure if it outperforms the TX2z in terms of processing speed yet since we don’t have any numbers but we’ll soon know. The good thing is that you can get around 10 hours of battery life out of the TM2 which is great news for students who intend to take notes all day long in educational institutes.
