ASUS Uses Fragrance Release in Notebooks, Rolls out the F6V

Take a good look at ASUS. First they come up with notebooks and PC monitors with leather infused, and then bamboo upholstery, and now, they've taken the "luxury" moniker to a whole new level, with a notebook that gives out fragrances. Believe it. The ASUS F6V is touted to be a "fragrance" notebook, not that it has the machinery to generate fragrances, but that the notebook has planted fragrance packs that send out the fragrance with flowing hot air from the notebook's heat-vents.

ASUS would be launching four models with identical system specifications, but different fragrances (flavours), chassis colour and body-graphics. Standard system specs include an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics with 256 MB dedicate memory, 2 GB of DDR2-800 memory (up to 4 GB supported), a 250 GB SATA hard drive. It comes with a 13.3 inch screen, support for wireless networking, Bluetooth 2.1 and tips the scales at 2 kg (roughly 4 lbs).

If they knock out a laptop that has built in air conditioning - I will be first in the factory to grab one as it rolls of the production line

Lol my old computer, an abit digidice, had a little container at the back connected to the heatpipes which were on the CPU. The computer came with lavender oil...when it got hot, you poured it in and the room then smelt good :p....

Only problem was the oily residue it left behind :ohwell:

I have to give Asus some slight credit. It takes balls (or lack there-of lol) to put out this laptop.

This is a terrible idea. I'm allergic to 99.9% of all fragrances. What happens when I'm in a coffee shop, and somebody has one these?

No hitting on the ladies for you, of course im just being judgmental that only women would carry fragrance emitting laptops but ya never know.
