ASUS W5fe SideShow

SideShow is one of the most intriguing features found in Microsoft Windows Vista because it lets any laptop manufacturer add a secondary display (ideally on the lid) for you to get quick access to your e-mail, photos, calendar information, and music files. And that's just scratching the surface. A year ago, the ASUS W5fe ($2,200 street)—an ultraportable—was deeply ingrained in everyone's head when it debuted at a Microsoft event. It was officially announced at CES 2007 in Las Vegas. Now it's time for some hands-on testing (with the same system Microsoft demonstrated at CES).
