Asus G50 review

Reviews Asus' Republic of Gamers brand has been wowing gamers for years now. The black is offset by smatterings of silver, including a couple of shiny strips on the lid, silver caps on the hinge edges, and even more shiny stuff on the Asus logo.

Asus R2H Ultra-Mobile PC review

Reviews The stylus is disappointingly short and lightweight -- it's reminiscent of those found in handhelds made by Asus, and we'd guess that it was not produced specifically for the R2H. Also present at CeBIT -- in prototype form at least --- was the R2H...

Asus A33 review

Reviews Again, a high-end GPU would require more cooling from a fan or cooling assembly that generates more noise, so it's understandable, if a tad regrettable, that Asus has opted for an ATI Radeon Xpress 1250.

Asus G1 review

Reviews Asus offers some unique touches with the system's design, and you'll probably either love them or hate them. Recently, Asus has scored with interesting design ideas such as the leather-bound ultraportable S6F, and the company's industrial-flavoured...

Asus G2P review

Reviews Two new laptops from Asus mark the launch of the company's first series aimed squarely at gamers. Design Resembling a decorated slab of brushed metal, the Asus G2P looks like a virtual prop from a futuristic first-person shooter -- it's festooned...

Asus N50V preview

Reviews We remember when Asus' laptops looked like they were designed by 5-year-olds with broken crayons. The 320GB hard drive is fairly middle-of-the-road by desktop PC standards, and even by laptop standards -- Asus' M70 managed to ship with a 1TB drive...

Asus Eee Box review

Reviews Asus has performed a minor miracle in the laptop market with its Eee PC, so it stands to reason that it would try the same trick in the desktop arena. The former is probably the most aesthetically pleasing option, paticularly as Asus supplies a...

Asus U1 review

Reviews Asus says this is genuine cowhide. If we haven't been gazing lustfully at the gorgeous Sony Vaio TX3, we've been hankering for the sumptuous, leather-clad Asus S6F. So it's no surprise our wandering eye has latched on to the new size-zero hero...

Asus Lamborghini VX3 review

Reviews The £2,000 Asus Lamborghini VX3 is a lap-based homage to the famous sports car of the same name, complete with a screamingly bright automotive yellow paint job. Asus Lamborghini VX3 DesignThe Lamborghini VX3 is similar in shape and size to the Asus...

Asus Lamborghini VX2 review

Reviews The VX2 is the second laptop born of Asus and Lamborghini's collaborative efforts. Asus supplies the VX2 with Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, which provides the Media Center interface. We've become so used to companies putting form before function...

Asus Nova Lite Mini 2L review

Reviews The Asus Nova Lite Mini 2L is undoubtedly one of the sexiest Media Center machines we've seen for a while. As Asus is quick to point out, many standard desktops have a volume of 20-30 litres. The latest Media Center to grab our attention is the...

Asus F6 review

Reviews You've got to question the sanity of Asus. Thankfully, Asus gets most of the rest of the laptop design just about right. If pink lids smelling of part-chewed bubble gum isn't your thing, Asus also sells a Musky Black version with a colourful blue...

Asus DRW-1608P review

Reviews If it's time to update your ageing optical drive with something flashier but you don't have the budget for bells and whistles, consider the Asus DRW-1608P. Asus DRW-1608P (16x DVD-R) Asus even includes Ulead DVD-Video and Nero CD/DVD-Audio...

Asus W3 review

Reviews The Asus W3 sits comfortably between being a home-office laptop and a low-end gaming machine. DesignThe lid on the Asus W3 is made of wire-brushed effect metal, while the rest of the case is a rugged but uninspired plastic.

Asus W5Fe review

Reviews Asus has a track record of releasing innovative laptops. We've seen gaming laptops with flashing lights, ultraportables with leather finishes, and glossy, super-light laptops that will have you swooning from 20 paces.
