The ASUS W2 is a 17” wide-screen multimedia notebook that only measures 27 mm in height and 3,4 kg in weight. It is designed for customers who need a big screen working environment that is easy to carry. The notebook is characterized by a number of innovative design features: • The W2 has a stamped aluminium sheet LCD cover to avoid the heavy weight and thickness of a plastic part and to strengthen the whole structure. • The surface around the keyboard is kept clean and simple by integrating all instant keys and touchpad buttons into the aluminium sheet top cover. The design takes advantage of the material flexibility to save additional parts and eliminates visual distractions. • A 16:10 cinema ratio screen, the built-in TV tuner and a 5.1 channel sound system set new standards for notebooks. • The ASUS advanced design guidelines and environmentally friendly manufacturing methods ensure the reduction of substances hostile to the environment.
