ASUS Power User Gathering 2011

Last week, Mangyantech snagged an invite to Asus Philippines' Power User Gathering 2011 event. A highly exclusive event, it allowed the Taiwanese computer and components manufacturer to highlight some of its latest high-end PC parts and components to a select gathering of some of the country's geekiest PC users.

 Described by Wikipedia as one who has "the ability to use advanced features of programs which are beyond the abilities of 'normal' users," a power user is a rather special breed of an IT user. Not necessarily a programmer or a computer engineer, a power user is generally aware of what his or her computer is capable of doing, and usually demands more from his computer system and its parts and components.
