Hardware, Embedded Systems "Asus has produced the first laptop in the world that makes use of Windows Vista SideShow to support a secondary screen in the lid. This is a 2.8in screen with a QVGA resolution of 320x240, just like any number of mobile phones that are on the market. The lid of the Asus also holds 1GB of flash memory which stores a cut-down Operating System that powers SideShow and which also links to the main Vista Operating System."

I dunno, the panel looks like it wants to be a flat zune, now that you mention it.

I have to admit, when I first saw the first picture, I thought the secondary display was a Zune in some kind of built-in docking station.

On another note, it seems that Asus put zero effort into the aesthetics of this laptop. Lame thing to rant about, I know, but the thing looks uglier than the wannabe-MacBook that was the subject of a review posted here earlier.
