Asus launches new G70 gaming laptop

Asus is best known for the Eee PC – a handy little ultra portable, but not exactly the most stacked of gaming machines.

In an effort to change this, they’ve unleashed the G70.

It’s crammed with computing power – an Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 processor and two independent Nvidia 8700M GT graphics engines.

There’s plenty of storage too, with dual hard drive bays packing a total of 640GB.

And when you’re not gaming, the Dolby Home Theatre system and 17in WUXGA Full HD display combined with the Blu-ray RW drive and TV Tuner make it a formidible home entertainment system.

There’s a dual mode touchpad on board too, which gives quick access to multimedia controls. On top of that there are additional programmable hot keys for an ultra speedy gaming experience.

Pair it with a Belkin n52te Speedpad and you’ll be unstoppable.
