Asus has become one of the "Top 5" computer manufacturers worldwide. CNET attributes this growth to the Netbook craze. The company's name comes from the last four letters of "Pegasus," the winged horse from Greek Mythology. You can restore your Asus laptop to the original factory settings in about five minutes.
