ASUS's chic W5Fe has been shortlisted as one of the best products of CES 2007. In fact, ASUS was keen to point out that it is only one of three in the running for the product-of-the-show title. On first glance, it's hard to tell why. The W5Fe is strong in all the necessary areas but doesn't particularly stand out until you close the lid.

Microsoft uses this model to highlight the feature itself. A nice touch and a truly handy feature for the business user.
On a different note, ASUS will also be launching an overclocked GeForce 8800 GTX card that's cooled by a supplied, all-in-one unit that's titled AquaTank. Expect to pay the usual 10% premium over an air-cooled version, though. Pricing is that dreaded acronym - TBC.
