ASUS is up to it again. This time taking full use of VISTA new feature SideShow. SideShow enable user to check email and do simple stuff without having to switch on the computer through an external LCD display.  There are a lot of notebooks being marketed as VISTA ready but it is just the basic hardware that are VISTA ready. They do not incorporate the latest VISTA features into their notebook. ASUS is one of the first to come out with a notebook that enable the features of VISTA to maximize user experience. It is good to see new features being incorporated into new system but the battery life for this notebook is a let down. Fort he reviews of this notebook, rave reviews are heard from its features but when it comes to battery, it is a different story. Maybe ASUS can rectify this problem by providing a higher capacity battery for it.
