It seems ASUS has been spending some time with Bang & Olufsen's Chief designer to create a heck of a laptop. There's no denying this is one sleek looking lappie with a polished aluminum exterior, but it's got some pretty cool tricks too -- including dual touchpads that supposedly gives you a DJ turntable-like experience. The high-def, 18.4-inch display is flanked by B&O ICEpower speakers and is clearly meant to live in your living room. It's not all looks here, though. It's got a Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 334M graphics, support for up to 1280GB of storage (with dual drives), a slot-in Blu-ray drive and USB 3.0. We've got no idea what this thing is going to cost ya, but we're hoping to dig up some details and get a hands-on look so stay tuned.
Beautiful, wow, this is a true executive system. Shame Iron Man 2 has wrapped, because this would look great in Tony's office.
I don't quite understand the purpose of this apparent 'notebook', since it's too large to be portable and too limited in terms of value for money to best a nice all-in-one machine like a 27" iMac or a Sony VAIO L-series. Regardless, it's certainly a striking piece of design.
Perhaps this is a laptop that is supposed to compete with Apple for the niche laptop DJ market? I honestly don't see any practical use for the dual trackpads otherwise. Even still, mixing programs are designed with a single mouse/trackpad in mind as is.
It looks very sexy imo
Two touchpads! DUH! Two hands!!
I can type with my nose.
I have jizz in my pants.
Reminds me of the Beomaster 9000 .... Uh, oh... I need a tissue.
100% darkness mixed with cruel grey. Yay!
