Asus HP-100U Dolby Headphone Set

Gamers with a penchant for very loud explosions will like the HP-100U, but those who want distinct audio levels will want to listen elsewhere.

Reviews

Asus O!Play HDP-R1 Media Player

The O!Play might have a silly name, but this is one seriously good media streaming solution, as long as you don't need Windows streaming.
Asus K50AB

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.
Asus Lamborghini VX5

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.
Asus Designo MS246H

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.
Asus M60J

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 RT-N16 Wireless Router

Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.
Asus RT-N13U Wireless N Router with All-In-One Printer Server

Asus' inexpensive 802.11n router is a bit of a bargain, although it does also bring with it some bargain basement sensibilities.
Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell

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.
