Take a good look at ASUS. First they come up with notebooks and PC monitors with leather infused, and then bamboo upholstery, and now, they've taken the "luxury" moniker to a whole new level, with a notebook that gives out fragrances. Believe it. The ASUS F6V is touted to be a "fragrance" notebook, not that it has the machinery to generate fragrances, but that the notebook has planted fragrance packs that send out the fragrance with flowing hot air from the notebook's heat-vents.
ASUS would be launching four models with identical system specifications, but different fragrances (flavours), chassis colour and body-graphics. Standard system specs include an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics with 256 MB dedicate memory, 2 GB of DDR2-800 memory (up to 4 GB supported), a 250 GB SATA hard drive. It comes with a 13.3 inch screen, support for wireless networking, Bluetooth 2.1 and tips the scales at 2 kg (roughly 4 lbs).

that stuff probably causes as much harm as Cigarette Smoke Does to the Parts inside.
If its decently priced then I'm sure people would buy it. And then remove the scent bags.
Asus's design department has way too much spare time on their hands... :shadedshu

Pfff, that is funny! I would find that annoying if i was sitting next to someone in the library and chicks laptop was smelly. However I would be intrigued that she had an Asus laptop.
i would so replace the scent packs with something more appealing. like, those pheromone things people sell on ebay to attract women.
All I can say is...really Asus, REALLY?
by: jbunch07;995531come on jbunch, if she was a hot chick I think you might overlook the smell and the laptop all together:)

and now we know why the quality of their boards have decreased.
I think it would really nice if they made it black and made the flowers guns or blood :p
Its funny that you spelled Fragrances wrong in the title "ASUS Uses Fragnance Release in Notebooks, Rolls out the F6V "
Aroma therapy..
Yeah why not I would say, it will improve the productivity.

that is a truly horrible idea. asus sucks so i guess it makes sense.
This idea stinks.:roll::roll::roll:
'dear god, someone hacked my laptop and now it smells like ass..us'
Lol does this mean an overheating laptop can be determined by the smell of burning incense? :)

The should use more illegal substances instead ;)
Bad idea, I won't be happy sitting next to someone with a "Fragrance" laptop.
by: Mussels;995533Ya beat me to it!:laugh: I can't wait to go to the coffee-bar and see the overweight "writer" guy on his laptop surrounded by women!

next thing they will think of is a laptop with a musky smell for men.
I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
[opens cologne cabinet]
Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
It's quite pungent.
Oh yeah.
It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Yep.
Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
[cheesy grin]
That doesn't make sense.
Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.
[snarls]
this idea reeks (of assus)
It will smell like chemical toilet cleaner, just like those "nasty" tree-scents you see in taxis dangling from the mirror.
Jesus, do companies really have to go this low to generate new ideas? SCENTED LAPTOPS?!?! what a waste of design time and money.
Wow, I wouldn't want to be stuck next to somebody using one of these rediculous things.
What you need to remember is that ASUS has identified that a large percentage of the future laptop buying customer doesnt understand Mhz, DDR, GPU, and cannot be educated in a reasonable timeframe either. However, they do understand pink, smells, shoes and handbags.
These laptops arent for us, boyz!

^100% whole heartedly agree with that. Especially the educated bit.
by: lemonadesoda;996005What will be on the masculine version of this concept? A sleek looking all black laptop with the fragrance of motor oil?

lemonadesoda as much as I agree with you on that. I still don't want to be sitting next to it in some public place. Or for that matter an airplane! @_0
by: hat;996014It smells like petrol and glue or something :toast:

LOL .. "hey you wanna smell my laptop?"
Farting in public wont be as awkward, just say "Oh its ok my laptop can release a nice smelling fragrance to block out the rotten cheeto and ramon smell" :p
I think Asus is going too far with these "themes" of theirs.
by: ShogoXT;996265If they knock out a laptop that has built in air conditioning - I will be first in the factory to grab one as it rolls of the production line

Lol my old computer, an abit digidice, had a little container at the back connected to the heatpipes which were on the CPU. The computer came with lavender oil...when it got hot, you poured it in and the room then smelt good :p....
Only problem was the oily residue it left behind :ohwell:

Spelling nazi (me) knows no bounds! Fix it!!! :laugh:
I have to give Asus some slight credit. It takes balls (or lack there-of lol) to put out this laptop.
by: hat;996014you need to watch more anime. in the future, guys computers look like 12 year old girls with cat eats!

If they make one that smells like diesel exhaust I'd be interested.... mmmmm, diesel exhaust. It's good and it's good for you...
by: JoJoe;996890I just want one that makes awesome BOV and wastegate sounds.

This is a terrible idea. I'm allergic to 99.9% of all fragrances. What happens when I'm in a coffee shop, and somebody has one these?
by: Wile E;997044No hitting on the ladies for you, of course im just being judgmental that only women would carry fragrance emitting laptops but ya never know.
