Asus PW201: Shiny happy TFT

Crave It's the Asus PW201 -- the shiniest TFT monitor we've ever seen. It's almost as if Asus dropped the thing in a giant vat of lube. Ironically, the Asus Web site says the screen uses an 'anti-reflection glare-type LCD panel' but the text might as...

Crave We've seen no sign of Asus' fabled 10-inch Eee PC, but we've just seen a U2E Stylebook -- an ultra-fashionable thin-and-light laptop that's finished almost entirely in the skin of a dead cow. It's very similar to the Asus S6F: There's leather on...
