    Ah, that's the free WiFi enabled hat. It's a limited edition WiFi AD-Hoc hat with built in wireless 'N' technology. If you wear it you improve the wireless signals from over 5km, so you can always grab a wireless signal(though be warned about unsecure connections!).







    In all honesty, I have no idea hahaha.

    Hmm, maybe they give you a free Asus hat along with your purchase?

    It means it comes with a free copy of Red hat linux.

    No actually it's probably just a free hat that you get with the purchase.

    I don't trust companies named after any kind of simple dry fruit which develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces (opens along a seam) on two sides.

    Hey, I have an ASUS polo shirt, I wear it every once in a while :p

    People ask if I work there, and I'm like, "Yeap."




    Oh, I don't by the way ;)

    You had me scared there for a second. Was about to phone my friend over at the mental institute's security department telling him one of his "tenants" has escaped.

    For some reason every time I think of an Asus hat, it is that lame floppy cloth kind with the strap adjustable back, the kind science teachers wear.

    I think of a cool beanie hat with ASUS emblazoned on it with a reversible side. The kind that doesn't exist :(
