The outside of the laptop is covered in bamboo, the palm rest is wood, and the guts are all plastic. There is no paint or coating or chemicals. (read more)
Upgrading a notebook is much harder for those with basic hardware knowledge and having only a screwdriver as tool, but that’s doesn’t mean things are going to remain like this forever! Asus is just about to release its ASmobile C90S barebone notebook, a product that features world’s first D-Door design.
The D-Door design allows you to upgrade main system components quick and easy, so from now on you don’t have to pay expensive professional services for changing your CPU, graphics card, memory or storage devices!
With a weight of almost 7 pounds, the Asus C90S has a design based on the IMR (In-mold Roller) high gloss finish technology and comes with a 15.4 inch widescreen display, being able to hold processors up to Intel Core 2 Duo E6800 Conroe. (read more)
Once you got a laptop of your own, the worst thing that can happen to it, apart from being stolen or blowing up in smoke, is to develop problems that require a mainboard replacement. The next in line is the LCD replacing, second costly repair that you may need to pay for, and today we’re going to show you how to do it yourself. Are you ready?
First of all, you should have the following tools at hand: a small Phillips screw driver, paper and pencil for documentation (or simply a printer with enough paper loaded), and a little bit of tape to keep the screws together.
Now, nobody got its technical knowledge over night, so before everything else, you should take your time and do some research on the Web. You need to know exactly what kind of display you need, so you won’t order the wrong replacement. (read more)
Once a company got to the top, staying there is the hardest part, and one of the most important things to do is keeping up with the latest technologies available. Obviously, ASUS is such a company. In less than two decades, ASUSTeK Computer Inc. became the world leading motherboard manufacturer, as well as a top producer of a wide range of products under the Asus brand, or for other corporations, including Sony, Apple or Alienware.

While Apple announced it’s going to start using LED-backlit displays on its MacBook Pro line of laptops really soon, it seems they are not the only ones to do this. In fact, while we weren’t able to find out when this is scheduled to happen, Asus seems to know where, when and what, and so do we.
CeBIT, the world’s largest computer expo, is held on the fairground in Hanover, Germany and this year’s edition is expected to have over half a million visitors, so it sounds like a good oportunity to launch a new product, don’t you think? It seems Asus agrees with me, and if you’re going to be there between the 15th and the 21st of March, you should encounter their upcoming U1F laptop.
The details available at this time about Asus U1F sound really interesting, since the notebook weighs only 2.2 pounds, featuring an 11.1 inch WXGA+ LED-backlit screen, black motif, steel edges, leather-clad palm rests and an ultra-low voltage Intel Core Duo processor under the hood. Fortunately for some, unfotunately for others, the U1F will come with Windows Vista pre-installed. (read more)
