ASUS' FV6 scented laptops now on sale: gotta smell 'em all

We're still struggling to believe that these are real, but apparently ASUS really is going to sneak a few scented laptops out to the eight prospective buyers still willing to pull the trigger after thinking it through. After being announced among of a slew of other machines late last month, the FV6 series of Fragrance Notebooks is up for sale right now. $1,274.99 gets you the FV6-C1, which evidently smells just like the color blue. We're sure the TSA will just love your explanation for this.

nothing kills a joke faster than having to explain it.

I'd love to know who's in charge of Asus' product ideas.
"First, we're planning on releasing 10 or so variations on our successful netbook which are practically impossible to differentiate, then we're planning scented laptops!"

I want the brown one to smell like Chicken Tikka Masala.

Manufacture one of those, and I'll definitely rush down to the store and.....think about it.

[Mr. Me Too @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:11AM]

We don't want you to be licking or staining your laptop every night.

@Mr. Me Too

Just because licking and staining your laptop is part of your daily routine doesn't mean everyone else does it too.

Why?

[Steve Jobs @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:07PM]

...because it is Rock Solid. Heart Touching.

[Jason Litka @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:04AM]
