Humanizing Technology in a New Tactile Way
Mumbai, India November 23rd 2006: Technology today has transcended its conventional boundaries and stepped into other arenas like lifestyle, fashion and luxury.
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), a leading provider of high-performance notebook computers, continues to exceed boundaries and integrates untraditional elements into notebook designs. The S6, with hand-embossed leather, jeweled hinge and polished keyboard, excels in computing capability and leads the way to classic luxury. The natural warm touch and aging quality of the S6 leather will transcend this industrial product into something more personal - humanizing technology in a new, tactile way.
According to Mr. Andrew Tsui, Managing Director, ASUS India, "The S6 leather notebook emphasizes our approach towards digital fashion. Brand and style matter to people as much as the technology itself, hence this unique offering by ASUS."
Tailored Craftsmanship for Timeless Classic
The unconventional choice of material stands as the testimonial to ASUS engineering excellence, design innovation and quality perfection.
Genuine leather is a natural material. Every hide is unique, featuring individual characteristics, akin to fingerprints, that indicate the leather's natural origins. Markings such as scars, wrinkles, and grain variation should be viewed not as imperfections, but rather, an assurance that the leather is a genuine hide. Well known for its stringent and uncompromised standards for quality, ASUS has redefined the usual imperfection tolerance, applied by even the most appraised leather goods manufacturers, according to its industrial technology standards in order to guarantee high-quality products.
Every piece of leather is hand picked and embellished onto the aluminum body. The production is very costly and the lead-time takes up to as long as 2 months. It has taken the ASUS research and development team well over one year to perfect the leather bonding procedure before mass production was feasible. The final products are subjected to rigorous quality tests from heat and humidity tests to cosmetics, sweat and oil resistance tests. Every S6 component is RoHS compliant and in addition, the product is requited to pass a third party SGS test.
Each S6 is a unique masterpiece that reflects the individuality of its user. It is a fusion of technology and craftsmanship, representing the ultimate digital fashion.
Upgraded Computing Performance
The S6 Leather Collection is based on the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology with Intel® Core™ Duo processors L2400. The dual-core capability of the S6 enables multitasking computing and provides fast processing performance that exceeds desktop level. Stay in command as the notebook works with short response time and carry out tasks without delays.
Long Lasting Battery Life
The S6's mobility is enhanced with extended battery life that empowers better productivity. ASUS Power4 Gear+ power management automatically adjusts CPU speed according to system load. Offering up to 8 operation modes that are designed for gaming, watching DVD, listening to music and word processing, this innovation effectively extends battery life up to 20-25%, providing a reliable and continuous operation power on the go.
Exceptional Digital Entertainment Enjoyment
The 11.1" S6 with Color Shine glare type and Crystal Shine high-brightness LCD widescreen offers vibrant video and compact mobility perfect for both work and play. Exclusive ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology integrates and synchronizes different multimedia data sources to reduce noise and conversion rate for vivid image displays with improved image contrast, brightness, skin tone and color saturation with true brilliance.
Extensive Wire-Free Connectivity
To accommodate and complete the modern fast-paced professional lifestyle, the S6 offers a wide range of fast and easy wireless connection solutions. Built-in WLAN 802.11 a/b/g ensures wireless Internet access wherever reception is available. Bluetooth 2.0 enhanced data rate (EDR) provides data transfers at a rate that is three times faster than the standard Bluetooth for increased connectivity and synchronization between digital devices.
