The New Asus NX90Jq Laptop
We saw some press pics of the new Asus NX90Jq laptop not long ago, and knowing that we would get a first-hand look at CES got us twitching with anticipation. Asus recently teamed with David Lewis, chief designer for Bang & Olufsen like A1175,A1012 to create what looked like a stunning piece of personal computing coupled with high-end audio.
But now we’re ambivalent, as the NX90Jq both lived up to our dreams and crushed our spirits for Sony-VGP-BPS8 battery,Sony-VGP-BPS2 battery Upon glimpsing the monster wide-screen display and two curvy ICEpower B&O speakers on either side, we immediately thought that we’d been transported to Pandora and were living lives of motion-capture magic. Then we got up close.
But we grew very depressed. The NX90Jq features dual touch pads on either side of the keyboard, to allegedly allow some sort of digital DJing capability. (We weren’t able to demo that, as the sample was stuck playing a promo video loop.) We were able to fumble with the pads a little, and fumble we did for Apple A1175 battery,Apple A1079 battery The pads are not multi-touch, so you can’t use both at the same time, and they’re placed at the top of the keyboard — resulting in a very unnatural interface.
But the worst is the casing which, for some completely unfathomable reason, is swathed in stainless steel. Really, Mr. Lewis: stainless-effing-steel for VGP-BPS2(Our friends over at Engadget got to play with the gun metal brushed steel version — way better.) As you can see from the photos, the case was riddled with dork finger grease for Dell KD476 battery , but this laptop will fair no cleaner outside of the halls of CES. We can only imagine that this computer was designed for ambidextrous audiophiles who don’t sweat.
The NX90Jq won’t go into production just yet, so we’re hoping that someone at Asus hears our sad, sad cries and discontinues the stainless model for Compaq Presario 2100 Battery. The speakers naturally sound great — possibly the best in-line laptop speakers we’ve come across — and that may be the sole selling point for some. Please figure out the touch pads while you’re at it, because we really want to like this laptop. But we don’t.(battery news)
