News & Reviews:   ASUS ZenBo

This week, tech news was rather scarce but Pokemon Go seems to be gripping the nation as XPAX by Celcom and Hotlink and Grab offered their users some Pokemon Go incentives. We chimed in with the top 5 features that Pokemon Go needs while we wait for the next version of Pokemon Go.

ASUS didn't just reveal their ASUS ZenFone 3 range of smartphones at the previous Computex but also revealed their ASUS Zenbo smart home personal assistant. While we've yet to have any chance at testing it out here in Malaysia (so obviously no Malaysia release dates), ASUS have released some live demo videos of the ASUS Zenbo showing off what it can do in your Smart home. Check them out below:

ASUS Malaysia have just revealed their latest Zenvolution event to be on 6 August 2016. Signaling the Malaysian reveal of their recently announced ASUS ZenFone 3 range, now it is only a question of how many ASUS ZenFone 3 smartphones will be revealed for Malaysia.

While we're quite sure the ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Ultra and ZenFone 3 Deluxe will probably arrive, will the recently announced ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max also make an appearance? How about Zenbo? Since Intel is involved, should we also expect the new ASUS Transformers or ZenBooks? 

This week Computex started but for most of us, ASUS stole the show with their Zenvolution, announcing the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra. ASUS didn't stop there and also announced their ASUS Transformer 3 2-in-1 laptops and the ASUS ZenBook 3 but their biggest news turned out to be their ZenBo personal robot. Huawei Malaysia started the sale of their Huawei P9 and P9 Lite and subsequently announced the price and release date for the much awaited Huawei P9 Plus and more.

Apart from launching their ASUS ZenFone 3, ASUS also announced their voice-controlled robot butler, the ASUS ZenBo. Priced for just $599 (RM2472) the wheeled robot looks to be the main hub in ASUS's Smart Home technologies as it can allow you to control the lights, lock or open the door and more, while also dancing, reciting a recipe, reading books to your kids and monitoring the elderly.
