ASUS TUF Sabertooth X79 Detailed, Too
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUSSABERTOOTH X79
ASUS' top-tier LGA2011 lineup is completed by the TUF Sabertooth X79. This board, along with the ROG Rampage IV Extreme and P9X79 Deluxe makes up for it. There will be many more affordable LGA2011 boards by ASUS, one such model we're hearing about is the P9X79 Pro. The TUF Sabertooth family is based on the idea of rock-solid stability and component durability, these motherboards are built to last, if not score accolades with overclocking like the ROG boards are designed for.

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Detailed
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUSP9X79 Deluxe
Here are the first pictures of ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, the company's premium segment LGA2011 motherboard based on the X79 chipset. This features in ASUS' main motherboard lineup, and not sub-lineups such as Republic of Gamers (ROG) or The Ultimate Force (TUF). The P9X79 Deluxe is loaded with features and connectivity options. To begin with, the LGA2011 socket is powered by a next-generation Digi+ VRM design by ASUS, driven by Dual Intelligent Processors III (next-generation Energy Processing Unit (EPU) chip and TurboV Processing Unit (TPU)). Like with the ROG Rampage IV Extreme, VRM is spread across three sides of the socket, and each cluster of MOSFETs is cooled by heatsinks. The socket is wired...

ASUS Zenbook gets taken apart, finds the peace within
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSZENBOOK UX21E
It's certainly not very Zen, but AnandTech has pried open ASUS' 11.6-inch ultrabook to see exactly what makes it all tick. The Zenbook's innards are all tightly packed together inside the oh-so-thin casing, with the UX21's slim-line cooler covering both of the Intel Core i7-2677M processors. The 128GB model has been given an ADATA SDD, while the bigger 256GB version runs on SanDisk storage, with the WiFi card contorted to squeeze inside the aluminum alloy body. ASUS has extended its design sensibilities outside of the tightly-packed casing, with the Microsoft serial number and certificate transplanted to the power unit, which leaves the Zenbook's slick design lines and finish peacefully unta...

Asus Padfone release date comfirmed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesASUSPadFone
Fusion-fans will be overjoyed to hear the Asus Padfone release date has finally been unveiled.
Jonney Shih, Asus Chairman, took to the stage at AsiaD to confirm that the tablet and phone combination will be launched in Q1 2012.
He also stated that Ice Cream Sandwich would indeed also be on board the tablet-phone combination, which is something of a blessing given that many phones will be running or about the run Android 4.0 when the phone is launched.
In fairness to Shih, this isn't really anything new - Asus promised to deliver the Padfone in 'early 2012' when the phone was launched in June this year and it seems that promise is holding.

Cedar Trail-powered Asus VX6S netbook gets some early benchmarks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSLAMBORGHINI Eee PC VX6s
Benchmarking unreleased hardware is a dodgy business, largely because you're not working with final drivers. Nevertheless, Netbook Live's latest efforts could possibly be seen as establishing a bare minimum of what Cedar Trail is capable of. They put a 12-inch Asus Lamborghini VX6S netbook containing the next-gen Intel D2700 Atom CPU and the AMD Radeon 6470M GPU up against its Pine Trail/ION2-powered VX6 predecessor. For good measure, they also threw in an Eee PC 1215B running on AMD's Zacate E-350 APU (not the superior E-450). The PC Mark benchmarks gave the VX6S a gain of around ten percent against the Eee PC, with the VX6 coming a distant third-- not quite revolutionary, but that's what y...

IP Firm Sues Over Core Products from Dell, Acer, Asus
Like UnlikeFiled in: DellASUSAcer
In three separate filings, Round Rock Research claims that Acer, Gateway and Dell are violating eight of its patents, while Asus is infringing on nine.
All patents appear to have been acquired by Round Rock Research in a package deal from Micron on December 23, 2009. They affect inventions that were filed with the U.S. Patent Office between 1992 to 2005. The eight patents mentioned in the suit mainly refer to memory and storage technologies and include:

Asus to launch 5 new routers, moving data never looked so good
Like UnlikeFiled in: Networking DevicesASUSRT-N15RT-N10 LXRT-N66U
It may just sit in the corner, silently feeding you internet, but why can't it look good while doing it? Asus is one step ahead of us with this one by extending its Black Diamond design to a new range of five more room enhancing products. The baby of the bunch, the RT-N10 LX, stylishly serves up bog standard 802.11n, while the undoubted prom queen is the RT-N66U which brings simultaneous dual band and gigabit speed L/WAN speeds to the packet shifting party. Two more equally svelte models -- the RT-N10 LX and RT-N15 -- cater for those networking inbetweeners, and finally, for those that accessorize, a dual band USB dongle squeezes in 2x2 MIMO as well as matching perfectly with those new shoes...

Asus ROG Tytan Desktop for Gamers Gets Official
Like UnlikeFiled in: Desktop ComputersASUSROG Tytan CG8565
You may not realize it, but in addition to motherboards, notebooks, netbooks, all-in-one PCs, and everything else, Asus also builds and sells desktop towers, some of which are well equipped. Sometime soon, Asus will add its first Republic of Gamers (ROG) build to its desktop line in the form of the ROG CG8565 Tytan, a monster-looking machine Asus says was "inspired by ballistic missile submarines."
Asus hasn't announced its Tytan yet, but there is a product page that details all the specs and feature. This is an Intel machine built around the Z68 chipset. Processor options include second generation Core i5/i7 chips. Other specs include:

Asus Eee PC 1025 treads a Cedar Trail through the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSEee PC 1025C
Attracted by all that Cedar Trail gossip about 10-hour battery life and weeks of standby time? Then you'll be pleased to see that Asus's Eee PC 1025C and higher-end 1025CE models have received their nods from the FCC. Both pack the latest 32nm Atom processor under their 10.1-inch hoods, along with an HDMI-out, Kensington lock and flush trackpad. The CE additionally serves up a USB 3.0 port, 4x zoom on its webcam and a metallic finish. NetbookNews got some hands-on time with these babies at Computex and reported prices of $249 and $279 for the C and CE respectively -- whet your appetite at the More Coverage link.

Asus: We're Not Abandoning MeeGo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsASUSNOKIAMeeGo
Yesterday Intel announced it was reducing (rather than "ditching") support for MeeGo, a failed Linux collaboration with Nokia, in favor of an open-source Linux build called Tizen that it is developing with Samsung.
So does that spell the end of MeeGo-equipped devices? Absolutely not, said an executive from Asus.
"We will continue to ship MeeGo products and look forward to Tizen," Gary Key, Asus technical marketing manager, told PCMag. In May, Asus resuscitated MeeGo by announcing the Asus EeePC X101 at Computex in May. Click on the slideshow below for a hands on.
In fact, Asus expects Intel to release MeeGo v.1.3 any day now and "hopefully hardware accelerated Flash in the near future." In F...

Asus' MeeGo-based Eee PC X101 hits e-tailers for $200
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSEee PC X101
First announced at Computex, Asus is preparing to shove its latest mini-notebook out of the gates with units already available for preorder through online retailer including Amazon. Netbooks have undoubtedly lost ground to tablets, but major vendors seem agree that both will coexist in the near future. Hoping to stand out in a congested and increasingly stagnant market, Asus' latest device offers a slightly different take on the conventional netbook.
Instead of Windows, the Eee PC X101 ships with MeeGo, the Linux-based amalgamation of Intel and Nokia's Moblin and Maemo operating systems. We haven't seen many MeeGo-based devices and according to a DigiTimes report last week, Intel might slow ...

Asus emerging as an Android tablet winner, reports $124 million net earnings
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
In a clear sign that it pays to be innovative, Asus reported a 5% jump in net earnings for the April-June quarter, compared to Q1. The $124 million it took home contrast with Acer losing almost twice that amount, and calling sour grapes yesterday. Asus also reported almost 6% net profit margin, which is its best performance in nearly three years.
The neat performance Asus attributed to steady motherboard, and better than expected notebook and tablet sales. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has been one of the most popular Android tablets in the first full quarter with most major companies having Google-ified slates on the market. The target of Asus was shipping 300 000 tablets for the whole quar...
