Asus decided to delay the official launch of the NX90 notebook in Romania after the prototype was stolen in mid- August from a hotel where it was showcased for promotion purposes.

The prototype that was displayed in Romania was one of the few available in Europe and the model has not yet gone into series production.

“With every important launch, we present in advance to media representatives a prototype of the respective product before it goes into series production. Now we are forced to wait to receive a new portable from Taiwan. We decided to postpone the launch event locally in order to avoid the potential logistics problems,” said Ciprian Donciu, spokesman of Asus Romania.

Unfortunately, the notebook was stolen from a hotel in Bucharest on August 11. The theft was reported to the police and there is an ongoing investigation, according to the press release.

The Asus NX90 is an exclusivist model only in the prototype version and it will be sold at RON 10,000.
