First announced at the CES 2008, the Asus R50A ultra mobile PC may be the most feature-packed ultraportable out there. The only drawback though is the the price that even rivals the Macbook Air.

This UMPC (the successor to the Asus R2H) is also one of the first ones to run an Intel Atom CPU (1.33 GHz). The 5.6″ display screen even beats most of the ones from the early netbooks at 1024×600 pixels.

It also offers 3G/HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and built-in GPS. Has a 32GB SSD drive, 1GB RAM and a webcam to complete the set.

And the price — a cool $1,885 (~Php92,000).
