ASUS announces V6V Notebook

ASUS Computer International (ASUS), a leading provider of high-performance notebook computers, introduces the V6V notebook.  Available in Canada, the US, and Europe, the ASUS V6V notebook’s carbon fiber composite chassis is lightweight, durable, and sophisticated with its sleek, brushed gunmetal colored surface. The result: a fusion of form and function that won the prestigious iF Design Award.  The V6V notebook includes the latest personal computing technologies such as DDR II memory, ATI 3D graphics processor and Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity to offer robust computing capability and wireless freedom.   The V6Vnotebook has a Zero Bright Dot (ZBD) LCD panel with an ATI Mobility™ Radeon™ X600graphics processor that guarantees total satisfaction with notebook display performance.  The V6V notebook innovates by positioning powerful speakers in the notebook’ s palm rest to deliver loud and clear sound quality. 

Comfort, Power and Sound

When designing the V6V notebooks, ASUS placed strong consideration on ergonomics, robust power and sound clarity.  The ASUS’ award-winning Industrial design team positioned high-quality speakers on the palm rest instead of on the bottom or side like other notebooks, improving sound clarity and user satisfaction of its crystal clear audio sound.

A Promise of Perfection

Asus promises users Zero Bright Dot (ZBD) LCD panels.  ASUS’ ZBD policy means exchanges are guaranteed with no questions asked, even if only one single bright dot is found.  With this assurance, users enjoy a perfect visual display without distraction.

Express Lane

The V6V series leverages the latest Intel 915PM chipset, which incorporates advanced 90nm technology for mobile processing, and supports DDR II memory and a PCI Express graphics interface. Users enjoy multimedia entertainment over fast interfaces running graphics intensive and memory-efficient applications with improved speed and efficiency.

The Slim & Sleek

Though the V6V notebook comes equipped with a 15” display, it weighs a mere 2.49kg (5.5 lbs), which is lighter than most 14” notebooks.  The V6V notebook’s 8 option keys are placed to provide a distraction-free working area.

Longer Battery Life

The exclusive Power4 Gear+ battery-saving technology controls CPU speed to maximize battery performance. Offering 8 different modes designed for gaming, watching DVDs, listening to music, etc, the Power4 Gear+ battery-saving technology innovation saves battery life by 15%-20% over other notebook brands.

Convenient Wireless Connection
