Asus has started offering the "luxury high-end" ASUS U2 series of laptops that the company claims are here to set a new industry benchmark in the fusion of landmark design and powerful computing. The embedded high-res web cam has Asus' "SmartLogon" face recognition technology that intelligently recognises the rightful owner and only grants access following a positive facial scan

The notebook has a back-lit 11-inch LED screen and one version features a 32GB solid state drive, which means improved shock resistance. U2 has a hand-polished stainless steel frame, with a copper etch and premium leather finish.
