Asus Put On A Wacky Show To Introduce Its Newest MacBook Air Clone

asus launch event

Asus has announced the Zenbook, its newest line of laptops.

We were in attendance for the press event, and we learned that Asus chairman Jonney Shih cares about two things -- releasing awesome computers and putting on a hell of a show.

What follows are pictures of this ritzy event. If you're simply interested in the details on the new computer, here they are:

  • It's available starting tomorrow, October 12
  • It's one of the thinnest laptops we've ever seen, just 3 milimeters thick at its thinnest point
  • Prices range from $999 to $1,499, a price that includes a sleeve and USB Ethernet adapter
  • If you put your Zenbook to "sleep," it resumes within two seconds of starting up
  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 7+ hours of battery

Enough on the tech specs. Check out some pictures of this swanky event.

Lots of snacks and drinks before the event



Waiting for it to start -- it's a little sparse now, but it got full quickly



Strangely, the event begins with a Taiwanese dancer performing to a Bach concerto
