Asus lineup at CeBIT 2009

Details are a little sparse at the moment, but the new line of Asus laptops are not simply run-of-the-mill models with marginal component upgrades. From a massive 1TB SSD in the Lamborghini VX5 to the ultraslim U/UX series, these new notebooks should give you something to salivate over while waiting for them to hit retail shelves.

Laptops

Asus Lamborghini VX5	Asus Lamborghini laptops are not cheap, with the latest variant, the VX5, likely cost the earth as it's the first to feature an enormous 1TB solid-state drive. The 16-inch machine also comes with a quad-core chip, Blu-ray drive as well as the latest 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 130M graphics card.
Asus' dual-screen concept laptop	If one screen is good, then two must be better. This concept model is the result of Asus' Community Designed PC project and allows the laptop to function in different modes. It can be opened like an ebook, or flipped and used as a tablet PC with multitouch gestures. Activate the virtual keyboard and trackpad and it becomes a regular clamshell laptop.
Asus U/UX series	The U and UX are the latest Asus ultraslim laptops. They feature backlit keyboards with the same individual keys found on Apple MacBooks. The UX is an ultraportable machine with a slot-in DVD drive, while the U is a 15.6-inch midsized notebook with a 500GB harddisk and the new 512MB Nvidia GeForce G105M graphics card. The U also has an illuminated trackpad, which leaves a lit trail of finger movements.
Asus K series	The first laptop to sport with the new ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4860 or Nvidia GeForce G series graphics card, the K series comes with 15- or 17-inch screens. Asus also claims a 5 hour uptime with a six-cell battery using its Super Hybrid Engine application, which is impressive for a midsized machine.
Asus N series	The N series is coated with a NVM (non-conductive vacuum metallization) film which offers the aesthetics and toughness of metal without interfering with Wi-Fi waves. There are four models announced (N81, N51, N60 and N71) though details on specs are not available at this time.
Asus M90Gf	One of the first laptops to feature the Nvidia MCP79MH mainboard, the M90Gf can hold a massive 16GB of RAM, thanks to four SODIMM slots. No further information is available for this model, but, suffice to say, it will probably come with a 64-bit operating system to overcome the 3GB limit on 32-bit systems.
