ASUS has announced its flagship business notebook, the Core 2 Duo-based B50A. The 15.4-inch WXGA/WXGA+ screen, featuring a keyboard-illuminating LED up top, is powered by Intel's GMA X4500HD chipset.  ASUS equips it with a five-hour battery to allow plenty of time to work with data stored on the DVD+DL burner or up-to-320GB SATA hard drive. Standard business features, such as a fingerprint scanner, secure Trusted Platform Module chip, and a spill-resistant keyboard to protect against accidents, contribute to the machine's security and durability. Pricing information is not yet available.

Asus needs to focus on defining its brand more, and less about introducing the same crap over and over again.
