ASUS' Booth

 The top model in ASUS' powerful gaming notebook series, the $3498 G2S has been updated with a Penryn class T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA's latest GeForce 8700M GT with 512MB of video memory. With an additional 4GB of DDR2 memory and a 300GB SATA hard drive, this is a machine truly made for gaming.

 The less powerful G1S is still a very decent gaming machine, with a Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, a GeForce 8600M GT and 4GB of DDR2 memory. It also comes with a more affordable price tag of $3098.

 ASUS' Eee PC remains a favorite with consumers who are still amazed by its tiny size and its very reasonable $598 price tag.

 For the entry level consumer, ASUS' 19-inch VW193T is at an affordable $329 while packing in the latest features, like HDCP compliant DVI outputs, a decent 5ms response time and a contrast ratio of 1600:1.

 22-inch widescreen monitors are the rage nowadays and ASUS has sweetened its deal for the $499 MW221C (WSXGA 1680 x 1050) with a free Targus backpack and DVI cable worth $168. Besides the freebies, this is a respectable 2ms widescreen display with DVI and HDCP support.

 Looking for a full multimedia experience? The 2ms ASUS MK241H fits the bill if you can afford its $868 price tag. This is a full HD display with analog, DVI and HDMI output, a built-in webcam with microphone array and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. Bonus gifts include Altec Lansing speakers and a DVI cable worth up to $188.

 Within this cabinet display is the entire range of ASUS mobile devices.

 Prices for ASUS' mobile devices start from $699 for the P526 GPS PDA phone to $1118 for the P750, a 3.5G GPS PDA phone using Windows Mobile 6 and equipped with a touchscreen and 3-megapixel camera.

 ASUS also has a GPS PDA, the A696 available at the IT Show for $628 with free gifts like a map application, extra stylus and protection case. Meanwhile the $399 A626 is simply a low powered slim PDA with WiFi and Bluetooth.
