5. The design: groundbreaking and top class!
6. The event itself – from the beginning to end, we were treated to a wonderful performance and experience. From the complete and sumptious Shangri-la buffet, to the entertaining fashion show/tech showcase program itself, and all the way to the end. There was such an atmosphere of class, beauty, form, function, and amazement which only ASUS and Zenbooks are known to embody and it transcends beyond the natural. Transcendence. Now we know the meaning of transcendence.
