    Last year the F8sv was seen, XG station, and the Eee(The 7" and 10") were notable mentions in their showroom.

    I wonder what will they bring this year? There was a sneak peak with their 1tb HD notebooks in their potentially new or even 'refreshed' M series.

    True, but it got much closer as it was actually demo'ed, and it's not just vapourware.

    Hopefully they can get their act together after this years large amount of faults.

    Theres going to be those M50S and M70S notebooks, but other than that, I don't think anything is confirmed. I'd assume maybe the first few Penryn models, and the U2 series as well. Maybe an expanded line of C series notebooks? There was a 17" model rumoured at one point, and a 13 as well, if I remember properly.

    I sure hope we see the development of the 'refreshed' M series... and it better live up to the older M series' legacy! The old M6 series is probably Asus's best selling notebook of all time... (or perhaps second, next to the W3)

    I think in the ultraportable segment, we'll see the recently announced U2, replacement for the U1 and the Bamboo Ecobook, whose most recent pictures showed it as the leather S6 series but with bamboo instead.

    Hmm, so the S6 will be refreshed then? Excellent. That was always an interesting notebook to me, since it was as small as the other 11" ultraportables, but had an LV processor which was FAR superior to the ULV ones used everywhere else.

    The new EEE PCs as well. Those are definitely going to be at CES. Potentially the R3 MID too.

    I know that Asus will have the desktop replacement laptops based on the C90s idea released sometime in 2008 with desktop based X38 chipset coming out under the models: C30(13.3"), C70(19") and C80(17") and quite possibly a c90 refresh. Should be similar to the current C90s with upgradable graphics, desktop processors etc.
