Asus has unveiled its newest U6S notebook based on Intel Centino Duo processor technology and Windows Vista operating system and sporting a 12-inches wide screen plus a host of other features.

The leather-bound palm-rest makes of a more tactile computing experience. Hotkeys with exquisite detailing are ergonomically placed on the streamlined hinge, making for easier access. The LED back-light panel, Asus claims, is half the width and one-third the weight of traditional LCD panels, thereby lowering power consumption and offering a more pleasant viewing experience.
