ASUS Uses Fragrance Release in Notebooks, Rolls out the F6V
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). ![]() Source: HKEPC Last edited by btarunr; Sep 29, 2008 at 01:37 PM. |

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...

'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?

It will smell like chemical toilet cleaner, just like those "nasty" tree-scents you see in taxis dangling from the mirror.

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! |
