As if Asus hadn’t been revealing enough in their notebook line lately, they’re adding one more to the pile with their fancy new U/UX series laptops.
The ultra-thin series of notebooks will feature light-up chicklet keys (with auto-adjusting backlights, a 15.6-inch glossy LCD and a touchpad that uses fading lights to follow the movement of your fingers. Powering it all will be a Core 2 Duo processor, Nvidia’s GeForce G105M GPU, up to 500GB of storage, and Altec Lansing speakers with SRS true surround sound.
These are expected for Q2 of this year, but no word yet on pricing for the U or the UX.

Anyone else think Sony might say something about the Model name? They had a UX series of MicroPCs a year or two ago...

How come it took other manufacturers so long to come out with backlit keyboards? Apple has had them for years, and now Dell and Asus are putting them in. Was it the price?

Just wanna know if it plays Crysis on max without having a heart attach. if so then sign me up, if not then back to considering a macbook pro.....
72 inch LCD, 5k, 2000watts sound system, 2k, xbox 360, 400$, PS3, 500$, multi playing GOW 24 hrs straight = PRICELESS.

So let me get this straight alright. If a PC laptop can't run Crysis at top settings (desktop gaming machines have problems running crysis with everything on) you will go with a MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro cannot run Crysis at all but is just as expensive as a top of the line PC laptop. Dude you have serious issues with performance priorities. I would take a high end PC laptop over any MacBook Pro anytime. At least with a top end PC laptop you can play Crysis. Perhaps not as fast as a high end desktop but at least you can play it. A mac book pro just plain sux at gaming.
