Interested users can visit the website www.wepc.com where they will be given a host options to customize and design their own laptops including the specs, color etc. Users will be able to choose if they want to build netbooks, notebooks or gaming laptops. The website also has a section where you can draw a rough sketch of what you want the laptop to look like. After receiving submissions Asus hopes to select the best few designs and award the contributors.

According to Asus, the laptops will be powered by Intel's Atom, Centrino 2 and Centrino 2 Extreme processors. Through this initiative Asus and Intel hope to deliver something that they refer to as 'community designed PCs'.

Well, there is nothing as too much democracy so this does seem like a step in the right direction. Who knows maybe we will finally get a good Rs. 30-35K (US$592-$691) gaming laptop out of all this. Even we can dream, right?
