Asus is all set to lure the notebook (NB) industry with two new NBs; the W5Fe with dual screen, and the G1S for mobile gaming.The W5Fe or the slide-show notebook as it is called, is the world's first to have dual screens, claims Asus. The small screen on the outer body is a shortcut to viewing a wide range of information, including photo slide-show, meeting schedules, phone numbers, addresses, and e-mails, etc, without actually starting Windows.Based on Intel Core 2 Duo mobile technology, the compact 12.1-inch wide-screen notebook comes with a built-in 1.3 mega-pixel Web cam, which can be swiveled 235-degrees forward and backward. Other specifications include: 160GB hard disk, 8x Super Multi DVD Writer, 128MB internal VGA memory, Bluetooth, 8-in-1 card reader, and 3 x USB.The other notebook awaiting launch is G1S, aimed at redefining mobile gaming with advanced graphics solutions, display technologies, and design details. Powered by Nvidia GeForce Go 8600GT with 256MB GDDR3 VRAM, G1S integrates Asus's Direct Messenger, which is an in-game information control panel for monitoring messengers, emails, alarms, and battery capacity while the user is engaged in full screen gaming. In addition, the notebook also features Direct Flash sidelights that auto glow while playing DirectX 10 games.The G1S sports a 15.4-inch wide LCD screen, and a 1.3 mega pixels Web cam, and bundles a gaming laser mouse. Gaming hotkeys on the keypad are highlighted in Green for easy access.Francis Kao, business development manager for notebooks at Asus, even said, "We are officially launching the G1 gaming series notebooks in India because they enjoy so much popularity as was witnessed during a recent Asus gaming event."The G1S is scheduled to launch in the country next week, while the W5Fe will be launched a week after that.Other projects in the Asus pipeline include: the next generation Lamborghini laptop, and the U1, a lightweight 11-inch laptop.
