En pocas ocasiones hemos sentido una atracción tan profunda, tan carnal como la que se apoderó de nosotros cuando asistimos a la presentación privada de ASUS en la IFA 2012 . Teóricamente el centro de atención tenía que ser su hornada de tablets híbridas...

Asus präsentierte seine Neuigkeiten abseits des Messetrubels am Potsdamer Platz. Eine davon ist das Asus Zenbook U500VZ. Wegen des Verzichts auf ULV-Prozessoren schrammt der 15-Zöller an den Intel-Spezifikationen für ein Ultrabook vorbei, läuft beim...
