In quite possibly the best lifestyle image every by ASUS, here we have an image that begs, “ASUS will put you to sleep.”  Or perhaps, “toxic fumes from the Nova will knock you out!”  Unfortunately, they were trying to convey how quiet this puppy is.  The unit, unlike the photo, looks very interesting.

The Nova-P22 is a bit of an odd duck: part laptop/part desktop.  It has the built-in speakers, built in connectivity, form factor of a laptop but the Intel Core 2 Duo Desktop processor and super quiet performance of a desktop.  ASUS aims this unit to fit to your space constraints and took some care in making this unit very attractive in either a piano or glossy pearl white.  A docking station is available.

Featuring considerable connectivity, the Nova sports WiFi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 technology and reportedly capable of downloading a 30-minute HD video in less than a minute.  ASUS uses S-shaped heat pipes, three fans and a heat dissipation module to stay cool and quiet, operating at only 25dB (which apparently we humans can’t hear).  Cool.
