We got a chance to preview the latest N6 Series multimedia notebook from ASUS at CES 2012. This isn’t a final design but if this is anything like what the new N6 Series will look like then it could be one of the best looking from ASUS in a while (except maybe for the Zenbook).
The new ASUS N6 Series notebook gets previewed at CES 2012 at the ASUS Showcase
Since this is an N Series notebook it will get the full multimedia treatment. In this case that means Bang & Olufsen ICEpower developed audio, choices of Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processors, and gaming-capable NVIDIA 500 series graphics. There will also be Blu-ray drive and Blu-ray writer options but it remains to be seen if these will come to North America.
The N6 should get ASUS' Instant-on technology for a super quick 3-second resume time
The new N Series should show up sometime in late Q2 or early Q3 in 14″, 15″, and 17″ variants with a Full HD option thrown in there. Until then, the N5 will have to satisfy your movie-watchin’ needs!

Anyway why this model use the old nvidia 500 series graphics instead of newest 600 series graphic?
this really doesnt look like a mac look at the n6 and macbook side by side
Honestly, this laptop isn’t the same design of a macbook, it took the good things out of it and it is similar. Still it does a better job regarding originality when compared to the Envy 15, but the Samsung series 7 is the most original for sure. I just really hope the give a lot of customization or send this to xoticpc.com
really? it looks like a mac, so it sucks! multimedia laptops should not be minimalist, we love easy access buttons and fancy lights!.
As a faithful mac user and an experienced PC user I can tell you that every computer has buttons that increase ease of use, even mac. And, even though I use mac, and my current laptop is a mac, I like the way this notebook sounds. It looks sleek and modern, not cheap and plastic, and it sounds powerful. A computer is like anything else in life: using it can be easy and painless, so long as you’re willing to actually learn how to use it.
Why it is not released at early q2 instead of late q2 or early q3? I want to have this machine ASAP.
because its gonna be using 22nm ivybridge CPUs
