Asus Intros Centrino Duo-based NBs

ASUSTek Computer has announced a five notebook series based on the Intel Centrino Duo technology.

The W2J, A7J, W5F, A6J and V6J notebook series are said to provide increased performance for multi-tasking with longer battery supply and better power management. The company plans to launch the W5F, A6J and V6J in the market in the month of February 2006.

Equipped with new Intel Centrino Duo Mobile technology, the Asus notebook series facilitates the user to perform multiple demanding tasks simultaneously (due to dual-core performance). The series also features enhanced wireless connectivity that allows the user to enjoy true wireless freedom with the W5F and A6J notebook series. Built-in microphone and 1.3 mega-pixel 180 degree swivel webcam allow users to video-conference with family and friends, without the hassle of external connections and tangled wires.

The 15-inch V6J is, according to Asus, lighter than most of the existing 14-inch notebooks, and characterized by a refined and elegant design that represents a comprehensive solution, that not only offers functionality but also cutting edge performance.

Richard Chen, product manager - notebooks, Asus India, said, "By the end of the first half of 2006, we will switch our major product line into Intel latest Centrino mobile technology, which is code named Napa. Right now, we are one of the limited leading vendors, who can introduce the notebook product with the new technology together with Intel. We have targeted our A6J, V6J and W5F into the 'professional' and 'thin & light' segments. With these products, a user can get more mobility and connectivity convenience, and definitely more powerful computing capacity and a longer batter life. Users could enjoy their mobile life with Asus notebook products."
