From their humble beginnings in the computer hardware market, ASUS has always been one of the most respected brand names in their field. With a company vision that is constantly putting them at the forefront of new technology advances, many find that ASUS laptops are about as close as you can get to the pinnacle of laptop perfection.

ASUS laptops are designed with the end user in mind. Not just mass marketed, multipurpose machines, ASUS laptops are specifically engineered for whatever you need your machine to do. As is the case with most manufacturers, ASUS offers a broad range of laptops that range in specialty from business to gaming targeted laptops and include everything in-between. The real appeal though, is the way they marry technological harmony with visual bliss. All ASUS laptops are made with the most premium finishes and surfaces you can imagine. From wild colors to brushed stainless steel and even full grain leather, you will find yourself drooling over more than just the sheer processing power of ASUS laptops.

On the performance side of things, even the most demanding users will not be disappointed as ASUS continues to deliver what is certainly a legacy of quality. All ASUS laptops are equipped with name brand parts that you can depend on, as opposed to some budget laptop manufacturers that use lower quality parts in order to cut costs, leaving you with a lower performance machine.

Standing opposite to the high end machines, ASUS also has a strong hold in the compact portable department. ASUS second generation Eee PC line is a perfect match for users that are looking for fast boot times, low demand computing and light weight (under 2lbs) performance, for only $299. The Eee PC line is obviously no speed demon but if what you are looking for is something you can pull out of a purse or briefcase to keep connected with your digital life, this line is your perfect match.

One new offering that ASUS has made to the laptop industry is one of the first fully upgradable laptop computers, which they bill as a full desktop replacement. The C90 is a special line of laptop that offers all of the advantages of desktop power and functionality with the portability that laptop users demand. Though most manufacturers offer the ability to upgrade and replace key parts such as the hard drive and RAM; the C90 line sets itself apart by allowing the replacement of things such as the video card, wireless devices and even the CPU! The ASUS C90 also allows you to overclock your CPU, which eliminates one of the main reasons why most desktop warriors have not already gone mobile. The bare-bones model which is basically nothing more than a shell starts at $850 and can be comfortably equipped for around $1500. However, the beauty of this laptop is the fact that you can get your parts from wherever you want, making it possible to bargain hunt for everything you need.

Of course, all of this comes at a premium. As one would expect, there is a general 10 – 20 percent price difference from most other mid-range laptops on the market. Most, however, would agree that ASUS laptops are a comfortable step above middle ground, which for the more demanding computer users, will be exactly what they are looking for.
