You'll find many ASUS booths scattered around IT Show 2011, but don't worry, the deals you find there will be the same!

The 15.6-inch ASUS N53SV sports the newest Intel Sandy Bridge processors in the form of the Core i7-2630QM (2.0GHz) and has 8GB RAM, 640GB HDD and NVIDIA's GeForce GT 540M discrete graphics. The price? A cool $1898, but it looks like it is worth the cash.

ASUS sells sea shells by the sea shore, well, not really. They do sell a netbook called the ASUS Eee PC Seashell and they come in two flavours. The older Intel Atom N455 (1.66GHz) R101D costs $399 while the newer R051PM uses a dual-core Intel Atom N550 (1.50GHz) and retails for just $499. Both machines feature a 10.1-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD and come with a 1-year warranty.

ASUS' star buy is the K42F, and this 14-inch notebook sports an Intel Core i3-370M (2.40GHz) processor, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel GMA HD for just $699. That's certainly cheap, and made us blink twice.

For the gamers, ASUS has the G73SW-3D, a beast of a machine retailing at $2998, and besides it having 3D stereo capabilities, the 17.3-inch notebook comes packing with Intel Core i7-2630QM (2.0GHz), 8GB RAM, a 1TB SSD HDD 7200RPM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M. Woah.

Need to go budget but still need performance? Try the 14.1-inch ASUS X42DE with its AMD Turion P520 (2.3GHz) processor, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD and ATI Radeon HD graphics. At $1098, we ask, why not?

ASUS has made a very slim (19mm) notebook with fingerprint-free capabilities. We like to say the 13.3-inch ASUS U36JC is our dream machine, and at the $1398 price, we're thinking why the heck not? It sports an Intel Core i5-480M (2.66GHz) processor, 4GB RAM and NVIDIA 310M discrete graphics so you have absolutely no reason not to get one.
