Netbooks and Notebooks from ASUS

Asus Computer International is leading the charge at CES, with their impressive selection of netbooks and notebooks.

At Tuesday’s press conference, the company discussed touch-based computing and a new ultraportable with 512 GB SSD that will run for up to eight hours on a single charge. Unfortunately, the new Asus Eee T91 and T101 swivel-touchscreen netbooks have no release date yet, but it looks like they’ll be ready in ‘09.  CEO Johnny Shih said that they are also thinking about doing an Android-based Eee PC.

The swivel-touchscreens were a big hit in the ASUS booth, as was the newly announced W90Vp gigantic gaming laptop (pictured below).  At 18.4-inches it comes close to Dell and HP’s record of 20.1-inches.  Powered by an Intel Core Duo with up to 6GB of RAM and a dual 500GB hard drive, ASUS calls it the “Ultimate Multimedia Notebook.”
