    This is more like an ad than a review.

    I enjoyed the review, yes G2P has a better video review but i'd like sounds plz, :D.

    Yah pronouncing ASUS's name is a mystery LOL!, everyone pronounces it differently.

    I use:
    A-sys

    But i think the real pronounciation is:
    A-soos

    But i like the way A-Sys sounds better than A-soos, lol!

    Thanks,

    MysticGolem

    LOL

    Ya, I believe it is "ah-SOOS", which is what she is saying. Not that I always pronounce it that way, cause most people in the states won't know what the hell you are talking about. Pretty sure I read "ah-SOOS" on the Asus site a while back, but can't find it know. Until I found that, I always said A-sus as well. I am willing to bet it is probably us "Americans" that say it wrong as we say "A" a bit different than the rest of the world most the time. And being that Asus is not in american.... well, you get it.... LOL

    Glad I'm not the only one the botches that up though, hehehe

    If you call Asus support or sales after hours, the man on the answering machine pronounces it "Ah-suse". :p

    No she did say it right. I guess you've never heard a Asus executive say it... if you want to get picky she could have made her 'u' a little more draw out.
