Infused scent?.....that's something useless you would expect from a Mac as a marketing ploy.

Is this a promise of things to come???
Is this an attempt by some Asus excutive who has an offspring ensconced in their room, playing computer games 24/7, to combat the rancid odour of an unwashed body and unwashed clothes piling up because the priority is some "Battle| that has to be fought against a Cyber Invader???

Who knows, it just may be the reason.:shock:

Cheers

Average User Rating 6

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.
