Rumors are saying this laptop will be priced at ~$2500. Given that the NX90 is designed in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen, I wouldn't expect it to be less than $2k. IMO, the NX90 is more of a fashion statement than for practical use. eg. dual touchpads (really?)

 

I never heard of Bang and Olufsen, I never heard of dual touchpads, well it is way better looking that the original w90. The graphics card is a bit crappy for this machine, the new ati 5870 would of been so much better.

 

Bang & Olufsen makes high end electronics, specifically in the audio and video department.

If you look at their product line, you'll see the resemblance of the typical B&O style in the Asus NX90.

 

Looks like a laptop with big ears.

 

Yes it does look like a laptop with big ears. well the machine that has been getting all the glory is the g73 which i am considering getting, just for the new ATI card! That card is a monster! Well anyway it does have big ears i am going to check out the company.

 

Kind of interesting. Not crazy on the mirror finish. What I'm wondering about is if its possible to use the 2 touch pads together. Could open up some new ways of using software.

 

yeah i dunno. it is kind of like their ferari series. overpriced.

 

Yea, at that price, the speakers better be REALLY good

 

yes at that price those speakers better be really good, i tell you it would be better if it had ati in their.
