Those are pis of new Asus models!

Corry caption read errror even still though its interesting

That looks yuck…it looks like a TR lookalike by IBM (but in white color :shock:)

Not pretty at all… but interesting to see!

Thats really stupid of Asus for copying a competing companies product AND making it look like $hit…
Even the audio in and out are in the same spot… stupid Dell. U know the people that love the TR for its “cuteness” are gonna go for the :EDIT: Sorry meant ASUS not Dell :EDIT: cause knowing Asus, they will offer it at around $1500 and people who know nothing about anything else will get it….
Toooooo bad…

These are not Dell’s machines!  The Dell caption refers to the machines pictured below the Asus offerings.  It was misread by the author of this thread.  They are not the Dell, but rather, Asus machines.  Although, some Asus machines have been rebranded as JVC interlinks in the recent past. 

On a related note, Dell will be offering a Sonoma rebranded Samsung X25 or X30 (a Vaio x505 ripoff) which you can find pictured on one of the other two pages of this artical.  It will be offered in April according to company powerpoints distributed on notebook forums a few weeks ago (and since removed). I saved them to disk before they were removed.

i think this would ROCK.. cuz IBM = track point = l337ness.

Thats too flat ..no nice curvy edges there. Probably too much to ask from dell.

I dont think so…have you ever seen the Inspiron 300m? That was an absolute beauty…slim with smooth curves and a lovely blue color. Quite mysteriously they no longer make it…I guess they figured it was too pretty and that Dell is not supposed to be making pretty laptop’s :?

The program loaded on the white laptop looks scarily similar to Sony’s Network Smart Capture program on the TR

Hi,

based on what I have seen on the internet (several sites) e.g.,
http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/product_info.php/notebooks/asus/w5_a_serie/asus_w5600a_w5000a_2160
http://www.pcw.co.uk/news/1161099
http://event.asus.com/2005/notebooks/20050201/

and the specs, the ASUS w5 is definitly better tahn the TR5. I am seriously considering buying one!

regards

The specs look better, but lacking in style.

Well, considering that this design is 3 years newer than the TR then it certainly should be. If it wasn’t then that would be really sad. Of course, there’s nothing innovative about since they have essentially copied the TR/Picturebook design. At least it’s nice to see ASUS start trying to make nicer laptops. I only hope the actual craftsmanship and finish are nice.

I used to think Sony did a poor job of giving technical informatin, but Asus takes the cake. I noticed their W3 has bamboo hinges. Well, these things dont mean it’s not a good computer.
