CULV Sensor Trade-Offs

Digitimes' sources are critical of Asustek decision to adopt a 1.3MP sensor for its consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) notebook to be launched in the second half of 2009, because the thickness of 1.3MP module, compared with a VGA one, is likely to hinder sales of CULV notebooks, marketed for their slimness. Acer and HP have adopted VGA sensor for their CULV notebooks.
