    LMAO you beat my by a second i was just about to put this up this laptop looks REALLY nice also if you look at the back all the ports are there this is really amazing i love it I personally think this is the best looking notebook at the WHOLE CES theres just something about it

    Also the keyboard is backlit on some shots too bad its just a prototype i would seriously consider something like this.

    Yeah, the Asus AIRO looks very futuristic and sleek. I don't think that's a backlit keyboard.... i can only see the side of the keys being lit, but the keys itself (on the surface) doesn't seem to be lit.

    "Asustek Computer announced that the company saw its first quarterly loss since the company was founded in the fourth quarter of 2008. The company plans to reduce executive salaries until its operations return to normal."

    Not too long ago if the company was founded in 4th quarter of 2008..

    If you like the image that conjures you'll love the AIRO.

    Yeah I'm implying what you think I'm implying...

    Digitimes' grammar isn't always the best, but they do keep up with the latest news. and that's the important part! :)

    It's the typical "Engadget" style witting :p
