  Are these phone prices unlocked, or with carrier contract?

  I assume the price of $199 for zenphone 2 and $399 for zenphone zoom are all on-contract price?

  According to Gizmodo is off-contract prices.

  sounds too good to be true

  Why? Those are exactly the price range of the original Zenfone, and they've been very successful with them.
  
  This is basically what a mid-range 2015 phone is going to look like, and they generally go for $200-$250 (outright, off contract).

  mmm optical zoom

  It's 4 f******g GB of RAM in a f******g smartphone. And it's not even a flagship smartphone.

  We need 4GB more than we need quad-core CPUs or 2k displays.

  More than 2K? Yes
  More than quad cores? Hell no

  Intel is finally getting serious about Mobile it seems, which would be great more competition will mean better SoCs for us.
  
  Also,if those are off contract prices I may seriously consider the Zenphone Zoom. I'll be waiting for a few reviews though, Asus products have been hit or miss for me in the past.

  Does somebody know whether Asus will also present new Zen Ultrabooks? Thanks

  Those prices are amazing. These aren't exactly slouches when it comes to performance. They should be really fast. I'm very intrigued.

  Glad to see upcoming updates to the Transformer T series x86 2-in-1s. I really liked the T100 while I had it but its performance just wasn't good enough and we ended up biting the bullet on a Surface Pro 3 for my wife to use for school. Hopefully these updated versions use the newer 14nm Cherry Trail Atoms.

  1080P on a 5" phone dispay but they can't be bother to move past WXGA on their T90 Chi... Also, who is going to pay $400 for an Atom based laptop(T100 Chi)?

• Visual - Thursday, January 22, 2015 - link

  This.
  
  And even the T300, worse GPU than ancient Surface Pro 2...
  This fad with fanless... why? Cost cutting by firing all their engineers and not even trying to make a decent cooling solution?

  Are Asus laptops really worth buying? I was looking for a durable laptop (I'm not really concerned about the design) and ended up buying a Samsung, but I've heard some good comments about Asus.
