    So here is the riddle:

    My type is denoted by legends galore,
    And I'm ably equipped for fashioning more.
    I'm even ideal when there's nothing to say,
    So hand it to me, both for work and for play.

    Not great at riddles so cant add anything to this. soz.

    I spent ages trying to work it out but am still none the wiser... I think i can safely say i'm rubbish at riddles! :-(
    I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on
    :dance:
  • I would have thought it would have something do to with the film though? I know there's a bit of magic but the wizards have staffs rather than wands.

    Some Hobbit Quotes

    Been looking through these for some inspiration but not come up with anything yet.
    Thanks to everyone for posting the comps!

    Somebody asked on twitter ...one thing needs to be clear are we meant to guess a product of Asus or in general?

    Asus answer...guess in general - though the answer is always likely to be linked to an aspect of ASUS and the competition ;)

    So I feel notebook maybe...ideal when nothing to say and able to fashion more notes from a notebook

    I asked .. Are all the riddles for one item or individual items?
    Their reply They all have one word answers - the only clue we can give you right now is that the answer will be related to the comp or ASUS :)

    From their wikipedia page "The name Asus originates from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus

    So that seems to cover the "legends galore" bit.
