    Computex is a tech show that takes place every year in Taipei. There aretwo things you can count on at Computex Taipei -- there will be a who's who list of notebook manufacturers and component makers showing their wares and it will be very hot and humid. This year held true. To stay cool and still see it all, we provide to you an image tour from our on site reporter.

    Our reporter's name is Sutheep and he decided to take a trip to Taipei and endure the heat and humidity, while trekking from huge hall to hall,to bring everybody back some photos. Asus, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Acer, MSI, Cleveo, Texas Instruments, nVidia, ATI were all there and that's just naming a few.

    Excellent reporting sutheep. Wow, that's a lot of pictures. I envy you for being there.

    I like the Clevo booth a lot - the M520S, M550N, and M660N are known in the states as the Sager NP5460, NP5580, and NP6630 respectively. Looks like Clevo had a couple notebooks with the Turion X2, very nice.

    Can't say I'm impressed with the Lambo notebook, looks like a V6J with a logo and yellow lid slapped on it.

    Great job,
    Chaz

    It was fun. Thanks to Andrew for making the pic tour lol. I probably wouldn't have gotten the idea.
    Computex was pack. The only thing great about a tech show is they give out sensible souvenirs haha. I got some nice LED lights badges eheh.

    great pics Sutheep!! I like the look of the new Clevos, very nice and thin. But like I've said before.. it's a shame they're no longer producing units with a dedicated GPU below 17"

    I remember going to Computex last year, it was crazy busy and so many people. Not quite as big as CES in Las Vegas, but very close.

    You didn't happen to see the Acer Ferrari notebooks there did you Sutheep? The new Ferrari 5000 and Ferrari 1000 haven't been on public display anywhere that I know of and I thought they would be at Computex.
