In the next few month, Asus will introduce Splashtop (or known as “Express Gate”) in their notebook series which allows you to surf the web in seconds after booting! Hence, you’ll be free from that dreaded waiting time for your laptop to switch on.

Asus will be the first laptop manufacturer to bring in Splashtop into the notebook environment. Other than surfing the web, you can Skype, MSN or do whatever things possible online (even online gaming!).

Splashtop or Express Gate uses an on-board flash chip to hold the necessary data to run the light-weight operating system at boot-up. With the fast boot, users are able to start surfing in no-time. This is advantageous especially if one is on the go and in need of accessing the internet urgently for whatever purpose. With a boot-up time of under 5 seconds, it does improves one’s experience in the web environment.

“With Express Gate, users will experience a new, fast, and secure way to surf, chat and play on ASUS notebooks for a new computing experience.”

This light-weight operating system will be available on upcoming M70T, M50V, M51T, F8Va, and F8Vr laptops,
