Asus W5Fe notebook with external screen for SideShow

Asus_w5feLooks like Asus might be among the first notebook OEMs to get the external screen concept to market and make use of Windows SideShow functionality. The Asus W5Fe is your standard notebook designed to run Vista. The not-so-standard aspect is the small LCD display, directional pad and independent power switch on the outside casing of the laptop. This display will take advantage of the SideShow features present in Windows Vista, allowing you to run widgets, check your calendar, e-mail and more. The beauty of the approach is that you don't have open up your notebook and power-up or restore from either a hibernate or sleep mode, saving time and battery life.

There's plenty more info here on Windows SideShow and how it works at PortalPlayer, who developed Preface; part of the technology that's used with SideShow.

Blog posting also allows you to form the design as you like. No requirement for navigation architecture or structured menu, have your own wish. Here you generate, there it gets printed. However there is demerit also. In site the design of blog is easy to access and read. You bloggers may force your dear visitor to a particular page in a site However unfortunately you couldnot carry out that on your Web Blog.
