"Leather, a material that calls to mind, at one extreme, Diana Rigg, tight thigh-length boots, the crack of the whip and, at the other, well-worn sofas, ancient libraries and the air of long-faded wealth. Somewhere in between sits Asus' latest leather-covered laptop, the W6Fp."

These are made exclusively for the geeks who think that having a thing like that makes them some sort of celebrity persons... Oh well.
On the contrary, to me it seems like these are made for celebrity persons that think they're some kind of geeks...
Seriously - when a "celebrity" goes to buy a computer, what brand do they buy? - They most likely find the most expensive, gaudy, all "bells-n-whistles" model they can find.

What's with ASUS producing all that supposedly "fashionable" crap along with Acer? Lamborghini, Ferrari, now Prada, for crying out loud! (BTW, isn't pink Prada version exactly the same as this one, but... well... pink? http://www.bornrich.org/images/r_asus_s6f_pink_laptop_for_ces.jpg).
That's all fine, but ASUS-designed notebooks are ugly and bulky. The whole affair looks like they're trying to wrap a turd in candy foil. Speaking of pervasive leather, I don't suppose you're going to wear it?
And on a related note, ASUS hasn't even bothered to customize the default XP install in their Lamborghini line - it still features some weird default ASUS-branded sunflowers or something.
