Asus introduced a whole new way to mobile computing with the
W5Fe series.
The 12" wide notebook with SideShow features an external
auxiliary display on the LCD cover, offers mobility with quick
and easy data access.
The W5Fe, based on the W5 series design, is packed with a wide
range of exclusive features including, display technologies for
enhanced digital entertainment enjoyment as well as
high-resolution webcam. The two spindle design with card reader
slot and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR ensures connectivity as well as ample
data storage.
With the launch of Microsoft's Vista Operating System, notebooks
are now capable of a more powerful processing that is predicted
to change and improve the current computing behavior. SideShow is
an independent operating system that it can be switched on
without booting up the whole system. With imbedded flash memory,
users can save selected data to SideShow, in forms of text, image
and audio, for later review. The external system is well
synchronized with the main operating system that users can set
for automatic outlook (emails, calendar and meeting appointments)
update when the main system is powered on for swift refresh to
ensure data consistency.
The W5Fe's auxiliary display is a short cut to viewing a wide
range of information, including meeting schedules, phone numbers,
addresses, and recent e-mail messages. On the entertainment
front, the outer display can be used to view photos, play music
and games such as Solitaire. In addition, SideShow can even act
as the mobile navigation device and guide the way with map
display.
