ZaReason Linux Optimized Thin Customizable NoteBook Officially Available

Many of our readers might remember ZaReason as the company that brought us the interesting ZaTab tablet that we’ve reported about here. This is a California based custom PC builder that specialized in high-quality, well-built, fully-customizable computing systems.

Now the company is coming out with another unique solution which is a Linux optimized customizable notebook.

We don’t exactly know what’s so special about the Linux optimizations, but the company will preinstall various different Linux distributions at the buyer’s request.

Most of the important hardware components of the notebook are completely customizable online on the company’s online shop.

The name of the novelty is UltraLap 430 and the chassis itself looks pretty well built. It comes with a 14.1” LED backlit display that has the classic 1366 by 768 pixel resolution.

The CPU powering the model is Intel’s Core i3 3217U Ivy Bridge processor and there’s an optional i5 CPU as well.

Here are the official key features and main specifications :
