Asus Showcases Penryn-Based Laptops

Asus showcases the company’s first notebooks based on the Intel Core 2 Duo “Penryn” processor at the ongoing 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The Intel “Penryn” CPUs, produced using new 45-nanometer technology, can be found in the Asus Lamborghini Mini VX3 ultraportable, the Asus Lamborghini VX2Sn, Asus M51Sr, and F8p notebooks, and in the G70 and G1Sn gaming laptops.

It’s interesting that one of the displayed laptops - the Asus VX2Sn - features an upcoming video card from Nvidia - the GeForce 9500M.

At CES, the PC maker also showcases its first semi-rugged notebook and the R50 UMPC device.

Availability dates for the introduced mobile computers are currently unknown.
