Unreliableby pzgeb - November 17, 2007
Pros: Compact, Fast, looks nice
Cons: Unreliable, runs extremely hot.
Review:
I purchased the S6Fm early this year. So far it has been sent back to ASUS Canada 3 times for repair. It runs hot so you must make sure there is adequate air circulation all around. The hard drive and motherboard were replaced within one month of purchase. The hard drive failed again 6 months after purchase.

Ultra portable with Ultra classby huemul2 - December 8, 2006
Pros: Light, powerful, and stylish. Good connectivity with DVD burner built in.
Cons: Expensive, thicker than other ultraportables, screen glare
Review:
I have recently purchased a Camel color S6F from ASUS and could not be happier. Has everything you would want and need in a laptop. Sleek, lightweight and powerful packing a core Duo processor. The leather adds that extra class, if your a leather fan and makes this laptop a real head turner. Other than that, this laptop really appeals to those who want a stylish ultra portable with a small screen size. Build quality is great and everything feels sturdy.
One complaint is the placement of the CTRL and FN keys as shortcuts can be tricky. Other than that the glare from the screen is bearable but bad in a bright environment.
