Asus U3S Laptop Presented

A new, special laptop was just presented by Asus. We are talking about the U3S, which comes equipped with integrated GPS and an external GPS antenna jack. This feature alone is bound to make people that travel a lot curios about the product. U2S also features a 13.3 inch widescreen LCD screen and an exterior made out of magnesium aluminum. Its’ processor is an Intel Centrino Duo and comes equipped with Windows Vista operating system. One thing that is worth to be mentioned is that U3S does not come equipped with the above mentioned GPS feature. It is actually an optional feature and we do not know if it is included in the European price tag of 2300 Euro. We do thing it is not so you should expect to pay a few hundred extra Euro to have it installed. If you do not like or want GPS, you can also have 3G connectivity on the laptop or what was named as being “turbo memory”. The latter feature is said to speed up the boot up of U3S and provide increased power efficiency.
The laptop is not that special and does not have many interesting features, although the GPS add-on alone could prove to be a real life saver in some situations.
