ASUS has launched the R2E Ultra Mobile PC in India. The company said the R2E notebook satisfies every on-the-go computing need and more; offering a highly versatile platform based on the functionality of a conventional notebook and the user-friendliness of a touch panel input on an intelligent digital writing pad.
With its 7-inch LCD screen, the R2E packs all these features in the size of a paperback novel. With the ASUS SunRead glare-proof panel, users can use the R2E to lead the way even when navigating the great outdoors in the sun.
Stanley Wu, Product Manager, Notebooks, ASUS (India), said, "The ASUS R2E is our latest product offering in the UMPC segment. It is a very innovative notebook that achieves a fine balance between being feature rich and compact at the same time. We believe that an innovation such as the ASUS R2E will provide notebook users in India with a unique solution to their ever increasing on-the-go computing needs."
Features of the ASUS R2E Ultra Mobile PC:
- Global Positioning System (GPS) for Anywhere Connection: Navigate and explore with built-in GPS. The retractable mechanism stores the antenna away when not in use. Together with Internet access, positioning is possible even off road. Multiple programs can run simultaneously for accurate turn-by-turn directions for the driver while passengers get to enjoy live TV or movie and music playback.
- Digital Entertainment On-the-Go: The R2E packs in a number of multimedia features for personal entertainment anywhere. There's easy media access anytime with live TV enjoyment with an external antenna and a remote controller. For a comfortable viewing experience, the ASUS SunRead glare-proof panel displays images and words sharply for a clear view in bright sunlight.
- Solid Security Management for Protected Computing and Solid Privacy Protection: The R2E offers total data protection that meets the evolving security needs with both software and hardware solutions. The notebook offers a smart balance of mobility and performance with a comprehensive security feature that protects the notebook and its stored information. Data security is uncompromised with a built-in AuthenTec fingerprint scanner with TruePrint technology that reads from the live layer of skin, preventing common skin surface conditions from impairing scanner accuracy. Embedded TPM is a hardware solution that helps to avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data.
- Freedom to navigate by just the touch of a finger: The ASUS R2E with satellite GPS provides a comprehensive travel guide owing to which users no longer need to deal with paper maps or ask for directions. The incorporated GPS antenna with a foldable mechanism allows convenient storage when not in use.
- Do more with a Smaller and Lighter Design: The feature-rich R2E is packed with computing, multimedia and connectivity functions. Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g and a high-resolution webcam, offer extensive high-speed connections and wire-free video communication.
- Intuitive User Experience: The R2E runs on Windows Vista Edition with Microsoft Origami Experience Pack software and ergonomic hardware interface designs. With complete function keys laid out on both sides of the front panel, users enjoy comfortable operation to a full set of control keys, including mouse, scroll buttons, hot keys as well as an on-screen keypad, all at the finger tips.
- Handwritten Input with ASUS InfoPen: Increase productivity and efficiency with handwritten input capability. Together with ASUS InfoPen software, users can record and edit images or documents as easy as on a piece of paper with color and highlighter options. The DigiPen stylus also has an eraser end and mouse control buttons so that users can now navigate a wide range of applications with single-handed ease.
- Easier and Safer Digital Data Transmission: Secure digital media slot is also integrated into the new R2E notebook. It gives users the immediate benefit of easy file sharing with different devices and users, while opening the door for future technologies like secure digital I/O. Secure digital helps ASUS products work better together.
The ASUS R2E notebook comes bundled with a USB keyboard and will be distributed nationwide through Rashi Peripherals Pvt. Ltd. and Net Place Technologies Pvt. Ltd. for an approximate end user price of Rs. 64,900/-.
