On the first official day of the COMPUTEX trade show here in Taipei, I attended a launch event for the Asus Eee PC 901 and 1000 with Ed Lau. The event itself wasn’t all that exciting, but we did get to see the new Atom-powered subnotebooks for the first time and they were pretty nice.
As we were sitting around waiting for the launch event to start, Asus had a promotional video playing on the projector screen. The idea was it would showcase some of the main features, like the shockproof design and extended battery life, but the net result is something is remarkably cheesy and out of sync. I’ve embedded the video below for your enjoyment.

Ya, thats pretty corny. But are they nice enough to get one for yourself?
Unfortunately no free Eee PC for me. 🙁 I’ll happily accept a “sponsored” one from a reader though.
The video is not very much impressive. It should be better than that:(
You’d think a company with that sort of name recognition would be able to afford a decent video editing setup and be able to pay someone to make a killer video…I guess they just prefer to let their machines and the reputation of those machines do the talking.
It would be one thing if they were going for corny, but it looks like they’re actually serious…just sad.
