On the Asian market Asus released a new elegant 13.3-inch notebook PC with black antipermeable housing and a simple and stylish look as all the other Asus creations.

Asustek Z37S is destined for business people that travel frequently and need a high-performance laptop as companion while on the go.
It’s lightweight form factor at less than 2Kg allows the owner to carry it easily everywhere and benefit from the latest mobile technologies such as a 2.2Ghz Intel Core2 Duo T7500 with 800 MHz front-side bus and up to 4GB memory, enough to run smart applications.



The graphics are taken care by the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M G with 256MB memory and DirectX 10 support which enhances the high-definition video experience and making the laptop suitable for intensive gaming too.

Using the built-in 240 rotation degree-camera of 2MP the user can communicate with colleagues and friends via video conferences, while other features include Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi, fingerprint recognition, and Windows Vista operating system pre-installed.



In Asia the Asustek Z37S model is available at about $1,226.

The next Eee PC version will have a larger screen of 8.9 inches, with 2 inches more in diagonal compared with the existent model, and will feature touch-sensitivity, GPS tracking capability, with a starting price of around $500.

This new information comes from Kevin Lin, the vice president of Asustek sales department, who talked about a release date around May or June.

Running on Intel’s platform, on Windows XP operating system, and with 1GB memory, integrating a Solid State Drive of up to 12GB, the next-generation Eee PC will be more appreciated than it is now and Asus expects the sales to grow very fast after the launching.

This adds 8GB more capacity allowing you to store up to 6,000 pictures, 2,000 MP3 songs or 14 -16 hours of MPEG videos, while with the S701 USB flash drive, that won the iF and Red Dot product design awards, you can share them all.



To match it with your EeePC, A-Data covered the flash drive in white and added a leather carrying strap.

It is clear that this new notebook model is designed for entertainment and one of the features that enhance its graphics is the DirectX 10 support which creates sharper contrast and high-detail imaging.
For the sound enhancements ASUS used the AI Surround technology to process the audio signals and the Intel Core 2 Duo processor from T7100 up to T7700 or Intel Penryn T8100/T8300/T9300/T9500.

The wireless module is an Intel PRO/Wireless and the other elements are: Windows Vista up to Ultimate operating system pre-installed, 9.5/12.5 inch S-ATA 200G/250G/300G/320G/500G storage capacity, the option to choose from nVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS with 512MB VRAM,
ATI Mobile Radeon HD3650 with 1G VRAM or ATI Mobile Radeon HD3470 with 256MB VRAM as the video card, and up to 4GB DDR2 RAM memory with Turbo Memory of 1GB.

Sporting a 15.4-inch WSXGA+/ WXGA+/ WXGA Color Shine display and a Hybrid TV Tuner, ASUS M50 is prepared to offer the user a great video experience.

Other news brought by the notebook are the Infusion technology used for designing the cover, which adds the elegant polished shine and durability I the same time, and the dual mode multimedia touch pad meant to offer quick access to volume, play, stop, pause, mute and skip multimedia controls at the touch of a finger.

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->Even if it was presented at CeBIT 2008, the ASUS Ecobook still does not have the full specifications and price information published.
It started as a concept, then it became a prototype and now it is real.



We know already that it is an eco-friendly product with bamboo strips cover to suggest that, but the internal hardware parts list is not finalized.

What I personally like at it is the overall fresh look and design lines.
I am very curious about its price, as I would enjoy seeing it on my desk every day.
