The next Generation of energy-saving ASUS Notebooks provide the fastest ever boot-to-online facility to launch in the UK this Autumn.Express Gate is a supplementary operating system that enables ultra-fast boot-up of a Notebook for access to commonly used connectivity features, including accessing the internet in an amazing 8* seconds. The system was unveiled at Computex in June 2008 where it stunned the tech-savvy audience with it's warp-speed wake-up-and-go.
The launch of Express Gate has effectively introduced the dual personality Notebook with two systems sharing the same computer hardware body. Just like Clark Kent and Superman your notebook can reliably undertake regular work and run the usual programmes, but knows how to keep a secret and is also super-fast when needed.
When working under the Express Gate environment, Internet, music and photos can be shared without disturbing the files and setup in the Windows operating system reserved for personal use. Friends and family can use your notebook to nip online, use IM, listen to music, play and view without having access to your data, the system or windows environment tucked securely away.
With this truly convenient, instant access to the Internet, users can now send a last-minute email before rushing off to work, browse the Web in between appointments and reach friends and family via instant messenger, all faster than a speeding bullet.
Key Points:
- Easy 8 second online access
- Instant Photo sharing, Web blogs update
- Protected Privacy for computer sharing
- Energy saving operation
- Easy, Enhanced user Experience
