    Asus Lamborghini VX5

    08 Oct 2009 4:03 PM

    Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match — thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.

    Specs: 500 GB, 4GB , Intel Core 2 Quad , 2.0 GHz, GeForce GT130M , 16.1 inch

    25 Sep 2009 2:42 PM

    Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out — looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.

    Asus UX30

    21 Sep 2009 3:19 PM

    The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.

    Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo , 1.4 GHz, 13.3 inch

  • Asus Designo MS246H

    06 Oct 2009 3:25 PM

    The MS246H works well if you're trying to reach a certain design aesthetic — just be aware that with this aesthetic comes a lack of adjustability options and frustrating menu buttons.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 23.6 inch, 2 ms

    Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell

    22 Sep 2009 12:07 PM

    Swelling the ranks of 11.6-inch netbooks, the Asus Eee PC 1101HA impresses with its design and battery, but having to overclock a slower version of Intel's Atom CPU is a dodgy workaround.

    Specs: 160 GB, 1GB , Intel Atom , 11 hours, 1.33 GHz, 11.6 inch

    Asus K50AB

    27 Oct 2009 4:54 PM

    The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.

    Specs: 320 GB, 2GB , AMD Athlon QL65 , ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 , 15.6 inch

    Asus reinvents its iconic netbook with the slim, attractive Eee PC 1008HA, a bold experiment that largely works.

    12 Aug 2009 4:11 PM

    Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA-H, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a six-hour-plus battery life.

    Asus U50Vg

    03 Aug 2009 4:52 PM

    The U50Vg has some annoying design issues, but it's a great laptop that can be relied on when out and about.

    Specs: 500 GB, 2GB , Intel Core 2 Duo , 2.53 GHz, 15.6 inch

    Asus U80V

    24 Jul 2009 12:54 PM

    The U80V is without question our favourite 14-inch laptop, and Asus deserves praise for what it has achieved here. If the company can overcome the final stumbling block of having a reliable multi-touch touchpad on PC, we'll be thoroughly impressed indeed.

    Specs: 500 GB, 2GB , Intel Core 2 Duo , 2.53 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 , 14 inch
