A Harmonious Balance between Form and Function Inspired by Nature that is Certain to Set Hearts Aflutter

The latest U Series notebooks from ASUS have finally answered the question “form or function?” with the answer, “Why not both?” While most thin and lightweight notebooks face the problem of scaled back functionality, the new U Series from ASUS-whose design was inspired by one of nature’s thinnest, most aesthetically pleasing and most graceful creations, the butterfly-promises an exquisitely crafted, thin and lightweight notebook that takes away nothing in terms of functionality. Its side profile resembles the wings of a butterfly in flight, and combined with its coherent design, the result is a series of notebooks that are so much more than just gadgets. They are exquisitely designed accessories for the style conscious professional, those who seek to assert their own individuality and appreciate the finer details in life.
