In its booth, ASUS had on display its highly anticipated notebook PC the W5fe. The notebook’s main feature is a small secondary display built right into the notebook’s hood. On its release, the W5fe will be the first notebook that supports Windows Vista Slideshow Technology.

The laptop is based on the Intel Core 2 Duo platform and has 512 MB of DDR2 memory. The hard drive has a total capacity of 160 GB and the 12-inch TFT display supports a maximum resolution of 1280x800 (WXGA). The small external display is 2.8 inches, can display 65 million colors, and has a resolution of 320x240 (QVGA). The laptop also comes with a built-in webcam.

The main selling point of the laptop will be the small secondary display. As we said before, this display allows the laptop to take advantage of Windows Vista’s Slideshow Technology. The small screen comes equipped with a cross-directional pad along with 2 push-buttons. The first push button is for general use while the second takes users back to the main menu. It is possible to carry out a number of tasks using the secondary screen, such as reading email, playing MP3s, and viewing photos, all without ever needing to power up the laptop.

An interesting feature of Windows Vista Slideshow is that it displays the power state of the laptop. In addition, it searches for WiFi signals in your area and connects to the best available network in order to check email.
