Asus, which has seen healthy and growing sales of its inexpensive, mostly Linux-based,ﾠ Eee PC laptops, announced five new laptop models on Thursday designed to use DeviceVM's Slashtop instant-on software. The announcement came at the Computex show in Taipei. The Asus M70T, M50V, M51T, F8Va, and F8Vr laptops will all include Slashtop, thought it will go by the name Express Gate on the systems. Slashtop, if you're not familiar with it, is an embedded Linux OS including both the Firefox browser and Skype. Here's what's really cool about these systems.
