    That looks completely awful... and I used to think that the webcam on the W5 created a lot of wasted space...

    It's innovating at least, I can't reject that fact. It's a good idea for an office laptop, especially if they put TI DLP there. Well, they picked G1 probably because of it's size, or they just had a spare one :D

    Can you say FUGGLY?

    Come on! the Asus G1 series has the biggest, ugliest screen bezel as it is, I can't imagine opening that sucker in public!!!

    LOL

    Besides I think the projector is not placed on a good location... What if I'm presenting facing the crowd with the screen behind me? I suppose I can roll the projector backwards, but then I will have to step aside so I don't obstruct the projection!

    F U G G L Y ! ! ! !
