Asus is looking to invade the fashion-accented market of HP netbooks. So move aside Vivienne Tam and Tord Boontje — Karim Rashid is here.

And it looks like they put some effort in the design of the lids (it’s not just a paint finish but a textured one as well).

Ah, basta! Hintay ko dating ng iPad 2 dito ‘Pinas. Kailan ba talaga, kuya. At ako ay bibili.

Asus has really step up, regarding the fashion statement of their customer. It really has a very cool design. The style is great, and it is a nice gift to anyone.

I have a question, is this still available in the market here?

Schoolkid.Ph · 16 years ago

Me likey!!!

The designer is what’s putting the price on this one. Karim Rashid is one of the top industrial designers out there.

But, yeah, this would appeal more for the girls, i think.

Ganda, pangregalo ko sa girlfriend haha :)

Niceeeee. I like the design!

ManChildTech · 16 years ago

A very good gift idea for those who value style. Not necessarily over substance but a real winner in the design book. :) And as that girl from ASUS (above) said, it comes with a battery pack, which is a very good deal especially when out and about, or taking breaks from shopping and the like. :)

I wonder if Asus will release an eee with replaceable faceplates/laptop skin instead later on.

He he he… I’m wondering what the ladies will think about this unit… :P

The lovely woman behind me is shouting “Girl power! Girl power!”

paul e. · 16 years ago

a good example of style over substance… obviously made for fashionistas… not my cup of tea.

Ram is down even though putting a Pinetrail, still its not in my choice. Really don’t like the specs and the looks. Fashion, eh?

Jamie Ysrael (ASUS) · 16 years ago

It comes with an extra battery pack too …. a nice feature when you’re out on vacation, or just working in some coffee shop. :)

@josengsisiw

of course you can.. but that’s not the point here. the price premium is due to the redesign of the case. Kinda like buying a Sony over an Acer, considering same specs.
