Here's some late breaking news from Engadget, a new computer with B&O speakers!

I wonder what else CES will bring?  The new subwoofer?

Sound seems to be deliverd from IcePower amps... and in my humble opinion... the screen has a rather BV8-ish look..

David Lewis had something to do with it...

We've already got a thread on that.

Aw sorry!  Didn't check that forum!

Very NICE, thank you for sharing the web links!!!

I don´t like it. It looks too bad with the big speakers on the both sites.

But the sound must be great!!!

Wow, just when my BeoPort-dedicated laptop starts getting old, here comes a B&O one..I love the design, and since it will stay at home for BeoPort only, I don't mind the huge screen.

Now, at USD 2,000-2,500, it makes BeoMaster 5 suddenly become almost a bargain!

I'll wait to have more info, but this could be the "home laptop" I'm waiting for..

Underneath the shiny bits, it's still Windows.

This is not a B&O laptop! It´s designed by David Lewis Design and have ICE Power thats all.

Don´t expect BL11 at CES....

If that is a measure for it's popularity then things are looking bright for Asus.

Take a look at the new ASUS NX90 18.4'' laptop computer - designed by David Lewis and just released at the CES  in Las Vegas.

This is probably the 4 post with the same content!

Looks like a very nice computer!

As there were several threads about the same topic,

i've merged them into the first topic about the Asus laptop.

I just saw and played around with this new David Lewis designed computer today at the Las Vegas CES show. The sound from the speakers was quite nice for a mere computer. Unfortunately, the polished metal surface looked a bit grimy with all those fingerprints on it. This "notebook" is really too big to be a truly portable computer. It's more like  a desktop with a foldable display. It would make a nice media computer since it has Blu-Ray, an HDMI output, and a 1GB graphics card, but it's still Windows based. It would make a cool Hackintosh.... if only the Mac OSX operating system had Blu-Ray support. :-(

I don`t like Mac. Finally something for me. I have already spoken to the importers for Slovenia.
Arrival is scheduled in April. Must have!!!

When I was at the ASUS booth at CES yesterday, they told me that this computer will be available for purchase sometime this May.

LOL    I guess I should have put the emphasis on "looks"

No.

The trackpads aren't tennis elbow-inducing enough, the screen aren't glossy enough, and there's way too many useable ports on that thing for it to run OSX

And it will look really pretty as it crashes and requires you to remove the battery, unplug it, and restart Windows.

Funny that - I remember, no so long ago, all the Maccites being similarly dismissive of Intel hardware - that seems to have gone very quiet!
