ASUS laptops are usually the Natalie Portman of computers, combining stunning looks and solid grey matter. And this mocha-coloured, sleek U6S Notebook Series promises to live up to its street cred.

For one, the machine has a 3.5G High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) wireless broadband feature, which is nearly four times faster than 3G speeds. So, you download files and stream information in a jiffy.

Upping its James Bond, spy-tool quotient is the face scanner - you need to, well, give face to this device before it grants you access to your computer files. To make video calls, just press the button of the built-in web-cam.

The laptop will be out at all authorised dealers next month; price: $3,098
