The first leather encased notebook on the market, the S6 also performs quite well.

ASUS S6 Leather

 

The S6 and its leather skin should make an elegant companion for the travelling professional.

Acutely stylish. Light. Pleasing performance. Bundled with carrying case and mouse.

Poor battery life. Expensive. Small 11.1-inch screen.

Despite its poor battery life, the S6's superb performance and compelling design make it worthy of your consideration -- just so long as you can shoulder the cost.

ASUS S6 Leather

 

Very good performance for such a small laptop. The laptop was designed to be SMALL (for travellers?), so it shouldn't be a surprise that its screen is only 11.1 inch, and the keyboard is packed.

small - light ; compact ; good performance ; stylish design ; comfortable keyboard

leather can get dirty easily ; few keys (arrows and the left ctrl) are too small ; draws too much attention ; high pricetag

ASUS S6 Leather

 

Used the S6F now for 6mths hasn't missed a beat. Fast enough for all my applications, the screen is a delight excellent definition. Looks and feels QUALITY!

Compactness and sheer portability, in the office I connect to a monitor and wireless keyboard so easy to live with ; But when on a plane or airport lounge its so so portable and comfortable

None really except when using as an office machine I found the monitor and k-board more practical. Would reccommend getting the 9v battery to give you 6-7 hrs constant use

"Nice one ..."

 

Who want's to work for more than 1.5 Hr on a flight anyway?

Great form factor - work's for me

Having trouble geting the Bluetooth up and running ; Don't like ASUS Live update running surreptitiously in the background ; Same ole with placement of some oft used keys (Fn vs CTL) - tis is probably me more than the machine
