  1. Re:Summary headline is incorrect. by LetterRip · · Score: 1 · on Why Microsoft Is Beating Apple At Its Own Game

    Hi,

    "Asusteks notebooks have a larger hdd, better video card, smaller ff, are lighter, have better optical media options, etc etc etc than the equivilant macbook."

    could you point out your source for prices?

    It ends up higher than the cheapest mac notebook after being configured similarly.

  2. Apple doesn't make Apple computers. Asustek does. by delire · · Score: 1 · on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes

    Asustek and Quanta do it for them, and they will continue to do so for the x86 range. There are rumours one can buy 'unbadged' Apple machines out the back door in Taiwan. Apple however does design the machines other companies make for them. How much Asustek's own x86 offerings will differ from the MacIntel's is, however, to be debated.
    If you can point me to a PC manufacturer that makes well designed and high quality products like Apple does than I'd be very much obliged.

    You can find native x86 Asustek similes of the 12" iBook here. See the gallery. This may be but a badge away from the MacIntel you'll be buying next year. It's a fabulous and rugged machine by the way, albeit sold out here in the EU.

  4. Re:ASUS in Italy, not in USA by poity · · Score: 1 · on AMD and Intel Notebooks Head to Head

    ASUS notebooks are widely available in the USA.

    The reason you don't see them much is because many are rebranded by the resellers. Those not rebranded (the ASUS Ensemble line) suffer from lack of major marketing.


    www.discountlaptops.com
    www.istnc.com
    www.powernotebooks.com
    www.c9tech.com
    www.agearnotebooks.com
    www.proportable.com

    are just a FEW of the many USA based online resellers who offer ASUS laptops.

    It looks like this and is made by the company that already make the PB's and iBooks.

    I jest, of course it doesn't have the monstrous OSX on it, well yet..

  6. MacIntel portables now available by delire · · Score: 1 · on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging



    With all the debate surrounding whether Dell/Lenovo/HP will provide the Intel range of Apple's, we should not forget the Apple portable range is already made by Taiwanese manufacturers, Asustek and Quanta Computing http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20050114A7040.html.

    Perhaps these snaps http://store.agearnotebooks.com/asuss5nphoto.html can be considered 'sketches' of what's to come..

    Asustek make the Apple iBook range, Quanta computing the G5 Powerbooks...

    One cannot talk about 'PC' brands anymore, as Apple is essentially comprised of these components. Asustek's designs are themselves comparable to the PB; however being carbon fibre they do outdo the PB where robustness is concerned:

    "So, now what? Well, you'll no doubt tell me that we have the freedom to switch to Linux, but how free is it? Neither Dell nor the other PC manufacturers will sell me a computer with an empty hard drive at the same price as the bundled version, let alone cheaper."

    FYI if you're thinking of a laptop, this Asus M6N came without Microsoft tax and makes an excellent Linux machine.

    Ironically the same company, Asustek, make the Apple iBook Line.

    I get 4.5 hrs, including watching a DVD on my Asus M6N, though I don't quite know why this performs so well; considering watching/ripping DVD's is around twice the battery load.

    I run a fairly light window manager, which I'm sure hits the GPU and processor with a softer hand albeit.

  10. Re:it's an empty case by delire · · Score: 1 · on Intel Flaunts Mac mini Knock-off

    i was considering buying a G4 lappie and putting Debian on it, as several friends have done this with great reports. however i found this better looking machine at near half the price, a robust design (carbon fibre case), incredibly fast, light and low temperature. apparently it's also won several design awards (whatever that means):

    http://store.agearnotebooks.com/asusm6nphotos.html

    solipsistic fandom aside, the Apple titanium machines are fairly crappy anyway, several friends have paint chipped off, dented lids and they are absurdly hot. the iBooks however seem to be well made laptops.

    having bought it i was surprised to find, Asus make many of the Apple machines anyway ;)

  11. Re:ibook g5 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Apple Updates PowerBooks

    my girlfriend has an m3np asus laptop and it's surprisingly similar on the inside to the ibooks. however it's several notches more powerfull, and at EU500.00 less than the ibook.
    the m3n is a beautiful machine, feels great to use: light, silent, yet super rugged. i can see why Asus were chosen to make the ibooks.

    given that she runs linux there's no need to buy an ibook i guess (if only you could get it without the expensive fruit.. a white laptop would be nice)
